Make Hay Ethical E-Media

“Once again, thank you, it has been a genuine pleasure to work with you.”

This is what the lovely folks at Climate East Midlands said about working with us on their brand new website.

Climate East Midlands is one of nine partnerships throughout the UK working to coordinate action on the causes and consequences of climate change.

As a relatively new organisation they were starting completely from scratch in terms of an online presence. They needed to launch with a content management system allowing them to update information about their work and activities as well as useful resources for learning about climate change. Most importantly the website had to allow for further growth and development in the future - and so that’s what we did.

Climate East Midlands will also use our Make Mail e-newsletter service to keep in touch with colleagues and interested subscribers.

The website is powered by the wind, using our Green Hosting.

This month we have been extremely happy to to be involved in the Canvass Your MP campaign.

This campaign was masterminded by a group of green bloggers who decided that something needs to be done about climate change and fast.

In lightening speed the bloggers met, created the campaign concept and gave it a name. Then what they needed was a web team to design and build phase 1 of the website in just 72 hours! We couldn’t let this pass by without being involved and so Jez, here at Make Hay, stepped up and volunteered. After burning the midnight oil all weekend the www.canvassyourmp.com website was launched on Monday.

Canvass Your MP is all about engaging your local MP, meeting him or her face to face, discussing your concerns about climate change and encouraging them to support proposals for a stronger Climate Change Bill. Specifically to set a target of 80% cuts in CO2 emissions by 2050 rather than the current 60% which just isn’t enough.

Green bloggers involved include friends of Make Hay Leonora Oppenheim from Treehugger and Asi Sharabi from Green Guys Global.
