OtleyGreen - Pissing in the wind?

Believing that extreme runaway climate change is a real danger and not wanting to be part of the problem. Easy for me to say having spent 3 years traveling the world. Decided to set up a group to try and reduce the carbon footprint of our village.


First step, to cajole some, hopefully, like minded people to join the group. Then meet in the village pub, the White Hart.

Managed to choose the 1st Thursday of the month when a very loud band practices. Shouting and saying 'sorry can't hear you' doesn't make it easy running a - getting to know you/what are we going to do meeting. However, avoided a fight over whether solar power for domestic hot water is part of the problem or solution.

The problem with selecting capable, proactive people is that tend to have jobs. Its clear that jobless me is going to have to make the running

Will local grass roots organisations manage to change things from the bottom up or are we way past that
