Yummy UMEE community training
Starting in March we will be joining forces with the Shrewsbury branch of Friends of the Earth to work with the residents of Underdale and Monkmoor in Shrewsbury.
The ultimate aim of the project is to build up capacity and knowledge of climate change and energy issues, enabling them to assist the wider community to reduce their energy use, CO2 and bills. We've lined up a ton of low energy light bulbs for them, powerdown units, and subsidised insulation.
Eco-school fines teachers for too much energy use

Cold snap previews the coming challenges of climate change adaptation
It's tempting to say that the freezing temperatures and heavy snow we have had over the last few weeks has been a return to a 'proper winter' as opposed to the mild and muddy variety we have become more used to. In all the chaos of the wintry weather several news stories caught my attention because of their relevance to climate change.

Carbon Forum goes international with Uganda Museum Project
In a major departure from our usual territory Carbon Forum have undertaken to design and manage the implementation of a new Climate Change exhibition for the National Museum of Uganda, in Kampala. The exhibition will introduce climate change, its history and potential impacts with an emphasis on how these issues are important from a Ugandan perspective. Sections of the exhibition will focus on specific areas of life, such as the home, transport, agriculture and entrepreneurial opportunities.
