Hollywood A-listers have patronized the team of 18 Christian Aid supporters in their 1,000-mile "Cut the Carbon" march. The walkers, taking part in Britain's longest-ever campaign march is set to reach in Bath the next Sunday. 

The march was joined by hundred of supporters and they also met MPs, civic and church leaders.

They will be received outside Bath Abbey at 4.30 pm. They will take part in an ecumenical service at Manvers Street Baptist Church at 6.30pm. Methodist Church in Trowbridge will receive them at Wesley Road at 3.30pm on Monday.

Hollywood superstar and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio has endorsed the Cut the Carbon march. The team of walkers will meet Labour Party conference in Bournemouth, finishing west.

The march is scheduled to finish at the London Stock Exchange on Tuesday, October 2.

People from Kenya, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil, El Salvador and Bangladesh, will demonstrate, all carrying messages about the impact of global warming where they live.

"Climate change is the most serious threat to humanity. Poor people in the least developed countries are already dying as a result of floods, droughts and conflict over already scarce resources, such as water, that are becoming scarcer as the planet heats up".

"They need our help to tackle climate change by reducing emissions, through individual action and by putting pressure on the UK government to pursue climate-friendly national and international policies", said, Paul Brannen, head of campaigns at Christian Aid.
