Click on the image to see a larger version

Greenpeace have an introductory film concerning the argument for decentralising the UK's energy system, found here. Made by BAFTA award-winning Memory Box Films and narrated by Clive Anderson - it discusses how the UK can combat climate change and ensure energy security without nuclear power.

Do you have any comments about decentralised energy? Please comment on this post if you do - I am interested to hear them!

The heated greenhouse build

Duncan ('Spider-man') and I are very happy to say that the greenhouse build (explained here) was a success! With the much-appreciated help and advice of 'It's not easy being green', we had a great laugh assembling the greenhouse and installing the heat sink, guttering and water butt within the day.


Photos showing the build can be watched on this slideshow. They can also be seen, with annotations, here. If you see explanatory notes below a photo, click on the photo to see them in full. As always any comments are welcome and appreciated!

"I Count" climate change event

The I Count Mass Gathering on 4 Nov (part of a weekend of Climate Change related events), saw around 25 000 pack out Trafalgar Square in London.

We set out with some green body paint, some banner making materials, and a desire to make some noise, and joined the crowds to 'vote with our feet' and let the UK Government know that we think climate change is a vital issue, in the run up to the UN Climate Change talks in Nairobi (6 - 17 Nov).


Thanks to everyone we went with and everyone we met for a brilliant time. More photos here, most easily viewed with this slideshow
