SUMMARY:A Solar Farm in Space? Why not\, says Dr Dan Clery
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nFusion Power and other FutureTech is one thing\, but when Dan mentioned orbiting solar panels\, always in the sun\, we were hooked. \nThere was a time when coal was gold. We’ve absorbed the solar panel and the nuclear reactor\, but it looks like there’s a lot more coming our way in terms of energy technology. Dr Dan Clery will uncover and demystify some of the solutions that don’t yet make sense to us. \nOur Speaker \nDr Daniel Clery is a graduate in theoretical physics who has for more than 20 years worked as a writer and editor on some of the world’s top science magazines\, including Physics World\, New Scientist and Science. Appointed as Science’s news editor in Europe in 1993\, he has covered many of the big science news stories of the past two decades\, and has become one of the magazine’s foremost writers on energy research\, addressing topics including fission and fusion energy\, wind and solar power and tidal barrages. \nJoin us at Woodbridge Methodist Church for an inspiring evening of knowledge-sharing and networking. \nDoors open at 6:30PM for a cup of tea and the opportunity to mingle. \nFind out more and get tickets

SUMMARY:Even older houses can become carbon-neutral\, with Ralph Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nDon’t lose hope if you live in a Victorian gem: deep retrofitting and a heat pump can reduce your energy consumption by up to 75% \nDomestic property energy consumption equates to 14% of all UK carbon emissions\, and older buildings can provide us with more flexibility to adopt appropriate solutions \nBuilding regulations are designed to allow us to retrofit appropriately. In good authorities regulators are even prepared to abandon data and be flexible. \nOur Speaker \nRalph Carpenter is an architect. He owns the Zero Carbon House in Hartest\, Suffolk and is considered to be the ‘grandfather’ of hempcrete. A key part of Ralph’s mission is to show communities and individuals what really is possible in terms of creating inspiring\, low-impact green buildings to live and work in. \nJoin us at Woodbridge Methodist Church for an inspiring evening of knowledge-sharing and networking. \nDoors open at 6:30PM for a cup of tea and the opportunity to mingle. \nFind out more and get tickets

SUMMARY:So\, what about the people who don't own their own homes?
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nDr Alison Pooley delves into energy-related social fairness issues attached to Social Housing: how do renters keep warm\, for a start?! \nOur speaker’s work frequently takes her into difficult areas: for example\, she has just published a Housing Report detailing the issues that landlords and tenants face. She has also worked on high energy users\, and how they meet their demands. As an architect and academic\, she witnesses every day the impact that research has on future energy production and use. \nOur Speaker \nDr Alison Pooley leads the Sustainable Healthy Communities research theme within the Suffolk Sustainability Institute at the University of Suffolk. With a background in architecture\, her research focuses on housing equity\, challenges in the private rented sector\, homes for ageing populations\, and retrofitting for resilience. Drawing on extensive academic and professional experience\, Alison’s work places an emphasis on creating healthy\, sustainable communities and transforming practice to meet environmental imperatives. \nJoin us at Woodbridge Methodist Church for an inspiring evening of knowledge-sharing and networking. \nDoors open at 6:30PM for a cup of tea and the opportunity to mingle. \nFind out more and get tickets

SUMMARY:Wildlife Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:To give nature the best chance to recover from the effects of human activity and the climate crisis\, it’s essential to create more space in our landscape in which nature can recover and become abundant again. \nWhilst Suffolk Wildlife Trust owns and manages a total of 2\,900 hectares of land on 50 nature reserves across Suffolk\, these alone cannot provide the space needed for wildlife to recover. It is essential for us all to work together with fellow landowners and communities to prioritise nature for the good of all. Helen Bynum\, farm wildlife advisor\, will share with us the collaborative Landscape Recovery projects that have taken place across the county and the benefits gained for wildlife. \nSuffolk Wildlife Trust uses the Zoom platform for its webinars and\, when you book\, you will receive simple instructions on how to join the event from the comfort of your own home.
