A New Way of Life?:
The Truth About Zero-Carbon Living

Wednesday 14th January 2009, William Gates Building

“All the information was very useful, all food for thought and action more importantly!”

This one day seminar, funded by Cambridgeshire Horizons painted a picture for over 70 delegates of what it will be like to live in a zero-carbon future. Delegates had the opportunity within the wonderful setting of the William Gates Building in Cambridge to explore amongst other issues:

• How we can think differently and more positively about living with a small carbon footprint
• What is the policy context and how can we encourage positive behavioural change to meet this challenge
• How can the Growth Agenda in Cambridgeshire meet the low carbon challenge

Feedback :

“All speakers and presentations were good. All presentations had content that was very useful and complemented each other well”

“All the information was very useful, all food for thought and action more importantly!”

“Update on current thinking on sustainability and diversity was helpful”
