As part of the Council's 40:20 campaign and following Muswell Hill's 100 homes project, the campaign is now recruiting households who would like to monitor their energy use and look at ways to reduce it.  A part time coordinator will be contacting those interested (details to follow shortly).  In particular, the campaign is hoping to recruit households in the ladder,Crouch End, Noel Park and Bowes Park.

Check out the 40:20 website - http://www.haringey4020.org.uk/ and don't forget you can hire an energy monitor for £1 for a week from your local Haringey library - its easy to use - I just set one up for myself this weekend.....and I am no DIY genius.   

Low carbon living talk 29 February

Prashant Vaze who wrote the book "The Economical Environmentalist" is coming to Wood Green library tomorrow Wednesday 29 February to talk about the real costs of taking action to reduce your carbon footprint. The book is written in chatty style and Prashant is realistic about how much an individual can do - but if we ALL do something, we can achieve a lot. If people want to discuss the talk after the formal meeting finishes we plan to move to Spouter's Corner, the Wetherspoon pub up towards Wood Green tube station. This should make for an informative and amusing evening. It also supports the campaign that the Council are running to raise awareness of how lifestyles affect carbon emissions, with a view to reducing emissions in the Borough by 40% (from 2009 levels) by 2020.

How the global 1% is trashing the planet and stealing your future

SUNDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2012

2 - 4 pm

Tent City University, Occupy London Stock Exchange, St Paul’s, London.

• George Monbiot
• Helena Paul, Econexus
• Claire Morris, Youth Climate Alliance
• Shahrar Ali, Green Party
• Suzanne Jeffery, Campaign against Climate Change Trade Union Group

The 1% are carrying on with "business as usual" regardless of the social and economic costs - or the environmental costs, for the 99%. This panel discussion will explore how climate change is not some abstract future threat, but is already killing thousands each year of those in countries which have no power and no voice on the world stage. Even in "rich" countries, the 99% are already paying the price of climate change through higher food and energy prices, and this situation can only get worse unless we make our economy sustainable for the long term good of all, and give ordinary people real power over the decisions which affect them.
