Queens Park Energy Futures

On 20 July, residents of Queens Park, Westminster side met for presentations and discussion about the insecurity of energy supply, renewable energy alternatives, energy efficiency in the home, and sustainable construction and design initiatives in the precinct. All manner of props and gadgets were laid out to illustrate a proposed energy gain. Questions were put, including the importance of factoring in the embodied energy, or CO2 equivalent contribution, involved in the manufacture of things designed to overall reduce our carbon footprints; not add to them.

Our own Susanna Rustin (far right of picture), of West Central Green Party, gave a neat overview of how to make tangible energy savings through simple steps.
