The Thriving Sustainably Blog

Blog - Overview

In this occasional blog I will be passing on information about the organisation of the event as well as give some background to the themes which the day is about.
The event will be one (so far fairly rare) opportunity for us to tackle these issues from the ground up as a community, mainly through sharing and learning together. We will have a chance to be exposed to some of the foremost thinkers and doers in the field of climate change, peak oil and the future of our planet. Let’s make good use of their contributions and offerings.

You are welcome to contribute to this blog - please send suggestions via the Contact page.
