Smart – Not Stupid
Mar 21st, 2009 by Tracey Todhunter
It’s been a hectic few weeks leading up to the cinema release of the new British Climate Change Documentary Age of Stupid. Starting with the Premiere on 15th March, where low carbon community volunteers spoke on over 40 locations to share their stories about how grass roots communities are working to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. With the film now on general release across the UK, local groups have planned a variety of events and activities to tie in with local screenings.
Of course, there is hardly time to sit back and relax – with the Low Carbon Communities Network through to the next round of Defra’s Greener Living Fund – we’re all busy putting together our Smart Living proposal to prove that the peole we know and trust can help us reduce our doemstic energy demand while living rewarding, stylish lives. Reducing our consumption of the earth’s finite resources is not just about saving money, it’s about taking back control of our own energy demand, using what we need more efficiently and event exploring ways to generate our own power in our homes and communities.
