Sustainability, Eco homes and Energy Efficiency - Interested?

[nictao]

Hi there,

I was currious as to whether there was anyone was interested in sustainably buildings, Eco homes and energy efficiency?

I have looked around and can not find a local community group for discussions or action groups and was wondering if people where interested in creating one?

Comments and thoughts would be most welcome.

Cheers

Nic

I'm a sustainability professional mainly dealing with carbon and energy consumption/efficiency so if it gets off the ground let me know as I would be inerested too

The idea I had inititally was just for a bunch of people to get together, chat about stuff relating to sustainability, eco buildings and energy efficiency, maybe over a beer/wine or coffee depending upon time of day and preference.

As regards to what we can action; that depends upon the community we create? I worked closely with Highbury and Islington several years ago on their sustainability scheme and came across an organisation called N10ergy which is now the MHSG or the Muswell Hill Sustainability Group.

Link is here - http://mhsgroup.org/about/

They have been established for many years and as a result they have various schemes which they are able to participate; from going into schools, creating a buying group, workshops, creating awareness, advice and help, and loads more. So in real terms of what they can 'Action' within their community to reduce Co2 and bring awareness of various topics of sustainability and energy efficiency is quite substantial.

I only wanted to see if its possible for a similar group to be created here? might take a while?

We would be interested, have been thinking about external insulation for our victorian property, would be interested to talk with others trying to make their homes and communities more eco.
