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

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?

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
