Low Carbon Diary

A Good Read …

May 28th, 2008

Last night I had a drink with the Editor of Sustained Magazine (thanks David!), we talked about low carbon living and the ways in which Sustained might be able to support the Low Carbon Community Conference, as well as having a good blether over a lime and soda! David kindly gave me a couple of back issues to look at, and I really enjoyed the interview with Mukti Mitchell. I followed his Low Carbon Lifestyle Tour last year, but haven’t met him yet. There is an archive of back issues on the website so you can take a look at them for yourself.

David and I also chatted to Alison, founder of Chester Freecycle. I might finally get rid of my daughter’s old but in immaculate condition Barbie scooter… Freecycle is a great concept, give useful stuff away instead of sending it to landfill. Lots of low carbon communities support their local Freecycle groups, so take a look and see if there’s one near you.
Today I’m off to talk funding for the October conference, hoping to organise some travel bursaries for community groups. I’ll let you know how I get on
