It’s only a few years ago that Low-Carbon Headington was established; I remember well the launch event in Headington Baptist Church. Since then, it has, thanks to its core group led by Jill Haas and Mary Gill, become an important part of the community landscape — a regular presence at the Farmers’ Market, a contributor to meetings including one of your Ward Focus Meetings, and the centrepoint of a series of events raising awareness about our carbon footprint and helping households play their part in tackling climate change.

If you’ve not been involved with it, now is the time, with their AGM taking place tonight — 22nd May 2012 — in the main site of Brookes at 7:30pm. They have some interesting speakers on eco-living and sustainable lifestyles. It will be a good occasion to reflect on what has been achieved in the past year, and how much more needs to be achieved in the near future!
