GREEN SUMMIT AT GREEN LIGHT TRUST - PROSPECTIVE GREEN PARTY MEP BACKS COMMUNITY WOODLAND CHARITY

Green Light Trust
7th May 2009, 17.30

Rupert Read, Mark Ereira-Guyer and the Green Light team will meet to discuss a safer future for us all.


The clock is ticking…
We have less than 93 months left to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions. We only have less than 50 days left to take the first major step, and elect another Green MEP. Time is precious. We need to act NOW!

Green Light Trust (GLT), is the environmental charity dedicated to enabling people of all ages to live in harmony with nature, based in Lawshall.


Since opening its headquarters in 2006, a RIBA East award winning building known as The Foundry, GLT has been committed to assessing and reducing its carbon footprint. Employing all the best techniques in the design and build of The Foundry - including installing: a wood chip boiler; rainwater harvesting; solar panels; hemp and lime insulation; low energy light fittings and its own reed bed (both to increase biodiversity and to take responsibility for our own waste matter on site) – GLT has taken every step possible.

Nigel Hughes, co-founder and Chief Executive, says: “We are ensuring that GLT is doing everything we can to meet the governments strict new CO2 reduction targets - electing the first Green Party MEP we will be supporting the new strict CO2 reduction targets to help us all survive and thrive..”

More on why 20's plenty -- without need for any further 'trials'...

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner.   When considering the val...

Stansted: a reflection

The key question, in relation to protsts like that at Stansted last week, is: which side are you on? Are you on the side of big corporations profiteering from completely unsustainable climate-destructive behaviour? Or are you on the side of people with no vested interests just making a non-violent stand, at considerable cost to their own time and money, for the sake of all our futures? It doesn't seem to me a hard judgement to make... Rupert Read Green Party Councillor, Norwich, and Lead Candidate for Eastern Region for the Greens in the 2009 Euro-elections.
