If you really want to go net zero

Get rid off all your electronic technologies including smart phones, games consoles, televisions that need to be left on standby rather than switching off at the wall, Alexia and other listening devices, and anything that needs to be left plugged in and on standby waiting for updates.


All of these consume power


Shop local rather than at supermarkets, shopping centres and on the internet as local shops tend to source locally plus if you do shop locally you will be less inclined to drive and get less packaging from online retailers


Eat what's in season


Send your kids to a local school rather than choosing a better school miles away (as a lot of patents do) and encourage them to walk / cycle to school


Don't take foreign holidays


Switch lights off when out of the room


Use a milk delivery service that delivers in glass bottles (less plastic waste)


Use washable nappies not pull ons (sensible really)


All these things and more are needed to truly reduce our carbon footprint, it's not just attacking drivers for necessary journeys as that alienates them.


Make small changes to your life which have big impacts on the planet

I'm looking forward to being on the start-up call on 22nd. There are a lot of simple and practical steps I know we can action. Now is the time to "build back greener"! The new gov Green Home Grant seems a good support for future energy saving/carbon emission reductions too.

Thank you to Andrew for hosting the first meeting last night. A dozen people logged in to to find out about reducing one's carbon footprint from home, in simple and practical ways. It's hoped a website and social media will follow soon.


There's a second meeting in a month's time, at a local venue (possibly in person). You can calculate your own carbon emissions using a online calculator such as carbonfootprinnt.com. You can read up more on Net Zero, and the changes we need to make, on the Committee for Climate Change website.

As a quick update, we are in the process of putting a Facebook group together. A website and social media should be up before the next monthly meeting in August. Please do get in touch if you are interested/able to contribute with any of this. PP

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
