While I’m busy confirming bookings and speakers for this year’s low carbon communities conference I thought it might be worth sharing some of the highlights from 2007 with you all. Thanks to fellow blogger Sven Cahling we have a record of the presentation Mark Lynas made to the community groups who attended.
If you feel inspired by Mark’s comments why not take a look at our conference website and follow the link to book for this year. I’ll be posting news of our major sponsors later this week. We are still looking for partners who can offer skill or services for this year, so please do get in touch if you think you might be able to help. If you can’t make it this year rest assured we’ll be posting a record of all the presentations and workshops on the website and we’ll be hoping our friends at the Community Carbon Network will be coming up with some innovative ways for us to share the event with you all.

As someone who spends a great deal of time linking low carbon communities and encouraging them to share skills and resources the Community Carbon Network has been an invaluable source of help and inspiration to me . That’s why I nominated them for the New Statesman New Media Awards. The Community Carbon Network is informative, innovative and above all user friendly. Why not take a look at the nominations and add your voice. Many community groups are not familiar with social media tools and so avoid adopting strategies which could help us all to do more and foster a sense of community even when we are geographically far apart. Of course, we’ll always need some face to face meetings such as the Low Carbon Communities Conference later this year, but how much more we could get from these meetings if we had already been communicating online?

Just got back from busy but exciting day at Collaborate 2008. Nice to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.
As you can see, the low carbon diary has moved, now you can access all the latest from the community carbon network and catch up with my latest news.
I’m o ff to Transition Towns Conference so won’t be around for a few days. Will come back with loads of new ideas and a head buzzing with thoughts about our low carbon future. Once I’ve got it all clear in my head I’ll write about it here.
