Extinction Rebellion Exeter is hosting a community talk about the climate crisis and how to tackle it on Friday 31 March at Exeter Community Centre.

University of Exeter climate scientist James Dyke will lead the discussion, and there will be information about the Extinction Rebellion 100 days campaign which began earlier this year.

The campaign is focussed on a gathering of 100,000 people in Parliament Square on 21 to 24 April – an event Extinction Rebellion is describing as “The Big One”.

There will also be free vegan food.
