Many thanks to Lorraine MacCauley from SEAD for coming out to Haddington to run the climate change workshop. Thanks also to everyone who came out. Lorraine had us think about the causes of climate change, and what is already happening because of it. A short film, The Story of Stuff, gave one American’s take on the problems of consumption - including the shocking fact that of all the material that moves through the American system to create consumables, only 1% is still in use after 6 months. Horrendous. She also had some case studies of what other communities are doing, some of which might be possible in Haddington.
The best thing to come out of the workshop though was the opportunity to meet other people interested in doing something to make Haddington more sustainable. To move this on, we are setting up a Yahoo newsgroup - details will be posted here as soon its ready. Through this newsgroup, and phoning those not on email, we will discuss what is the best thing to do next. If you have any ideas in the meantime, just click on ‘add a comment’ above.
