Local teacher and mum, Victoria Waller has launched a new website called: Sustainable Milford on Sea, which you can view by clicking here.
Victoria has built the website is to help with information about the risks and predictions of global warming, climate change and sea level rise specifically for the Milford on sea and Keyhaven area, and globally.
The website explains that; Much of this information is complex, confusing, and hard to find. It is difficult to understand how exactly we will be impacted, and even harder to know what to do about it! I hope that the information here helps you to navigate this and empowers you to take action, at whatever level and whatever way you can.
The site includes links where people can discover what climate change is and what the predicted local impacts we may see in areas such as: Heat, Sea levels, Climate refugees and Global heating.
There are also links to local Local initiatives groups and projects contributing to climate change mitigation and supporting adaptation.
The website is very much in its early stages and will be built up over time to keep people in touch with Milford on Sea and the climate.
Victoria also give presentations as an introduction to how climate change will impact us locally. If you wish to contact her you can do so by clicking here.

About Victoria
Victoria is a teacher, researcher and mother who loves Milford on Sea and grew up locally.
As she explains:"At school I learnt about environmental issues such as pollution, human issues such as fair trade, and consumption issues such as animal-feed demand fuelling Amazon deforestation, overflowing landfill sites and then eventually fossil fuel consumption driving global warming. I always believed that when things got serious enough, people, governments and businesses would change their policies and habits to avoid complete disaster. That time is now.
The climate has changed, and is continuing to change. The impacts of this for millions of people are already catastrophic. To date, there are no indications of the kind of action that is needed to halt, let alone reverse this. At this point, I realise there is no ‘perfect’ solution, no ‘silver bullet’. I believe we all need to do everything, and whatever we can to reduce emissions and build a future that is healthy, safe and just for people and species across the planet."
