WHAT’S GREEN IN BIRMINGHAM?

Climate change (or climate chaos as some people call it) is a reality which will increasingly dominate the 21st century. As citizens of Britain’s second city, we can help create a city to be proud of, leading the way in reducing global warming to help save the planet for future generations.

If you’re looking for green products and services, green spaces, green initiatives and groups in Birmingham UK, start here. With your help, we can help everyone cut the carbon by pooling our knowledge on all the different initiatives in the city to cut CO2 and other greenhouse gases – and other forms of pollution.

GREENING BRUM:

If you are doing anything to help create a sustainable economy in the city, to preserve biodiversity, or to increase awareness of ecological issues, we want to know about it.

“DRAGONS’ DEN” – with a TWIST in the TAIL! 3 Feb

Jan 26th, 2009 by Chris Duggan | No comments yet

CHANGING LIFESTYLES launches its own version of “Dragons’ Den” – all these ‘dragons’ are GREEN! Tuesday 3rd February, Town Hall.

On Tuesday 3rd February, the second day of Changing Lifestyles at Birmingham Town Hall, the Midlands Eco Partnership will be launched. The evening formalities will be preceded by a series of entirely sustainable, most certainly eco-friendly, and eminently recyclable, presentations from local businesses.

The language may be tongue in cheek – the content is serious stuff presented by small companies committed to a better way of doing business. Whilst others may huff and puff about the difficulties we face, these people are making their mark with products and services which are changing the world – from the bottom up, and for the long term good of ourselves and future generations!

Our distinguished “Green Dragons” panel includes:-

Professor Rex Harris
– Birmingham University and responsible for the development of the hydrogen powered canal boat which featured in the summer Climate Change Festival; the boat will come into the city during Changing Lifestyles;
Molly Scot Cato - Green Party Economics spokesperson; launches her new book “Green Economics” in Oxford on 16th January; another book signing at Changing Lifestyles is possible;
Rob Hopkins - Transition Towns guru from Totnes – author of the TT Handbook – the ‘bible’ of the TT movemen, and available at this event;
Seiji Mukai - Director Nagoya Carbon & Technology Exchange (NCTX) and now Government Advisor on the CTX rollout;
Jane Sarkar - design innovator at Birmingham City University with radical technical innovations.
