You see, we should make use of the forces of nature

“You see, we should make use of the forces of nature
and should obtain all our power in this way.
Sunshine is a form of energy, wind and sea currents
are manifestations of this energy.
Do we make use of them? Oh no! We burn forests and coal,
like tenants burning down our front door for heating.
We live like wild settlers and not
as though these resources belong to us”

Training session at Market Drayton Swimming Centre

On Monday (16th March) Richard Hammerton went to Market Drayton to deliver a staff training session - one of the distinguishing features of the session was that it was certainly the earliest one he has ever done, beginning at 7am and ending at 8.30!

The purpose of the training session was to provide accessible energy advice to the staff of the Swimming Centre, and also staff from other leisure facilities in North Shropshire, with a focus on behavioural changes and actions which are free or low cost.

It's tempting to say that the freezing temperatures and heavy snow we have had over the last few weeks has been a return to a 'proper winter' as opposed to the mild and muddy variety we have become more used to. In all the chaos of the wintry weather several news stories caught my attention because of their relevance to climate change.

Carbon Forum goes international with Uganda Museum Project

In a major departure from our usual territory Carbon Forum have undertaken to design and manage the implementation of a new Climate Change exhibition for the National Museum of Uganda, in Kampala. The exhibition will introduce climate change, its history and potential impacts with an emphasis on how these issues are important from a Ugandan perspective. Sections of the exhibition will focus on specific areas of life, such as the home, transport, agriculture and entrepreneurial opportunities.
