An enormous thanks to Taryn, Imogen and Eleanor - we had a great session on Wednesday and enjoyed a wide ranging discussion about the “hopeful action” that so many of our community energy groups are using to participate in the shift to clean energy.
A big thanks to the Sustainable Living Festival for hosting us and promoting the event.
