Herefordshire Council's Climate Change Officer announced, "Our target is achieve a 4.9% CO2 reduction by 2010, which is to be done in conjunction with a 8.2% CO2 reduction by central government through the implementation of national measures. Together this sets a total reduction target for Herefordshire of 13.1%." In order to compile
an effective and deliverable action plan for this
major challenge, Ben is planning a workshop for the afternoon of Wednesday, 24th September. The aim of this is
to get ideas and views from residents and businesses within the County on how we can achieve this together. If you are
interested in attending this, please E-mail Ben and
pencil it into your diary. Details to follow.
Work That Reconnects Workshop at Rainbow View was held on Saturday July 19th. What a success! Nine people attended, two of whom came from Peterchurch, a few members of the Transition Hereford group and others from Herefordshire CRAG group. Ages ranged from mid-20's to mid-80's. Everyone participated fully and the workshop was very well received, with participants leaving on a positive and purposeful note.Fri Hay Festival Twenty-One 2008 What an excellent festival! Sarah and Dave signed up to steward at this year's events. They planned to volunteer for two or three half-days. After the first day, they were hooked and volunteered for eight out of the 11 days, for the whole day. The Festival needs local stewards to help, especially at the beginning and end of each Festival. There are many stewards who travel to and from the Festival from afar. If you are interested, please follow the link to the Hay Festival and let them know that you are interested. Sometime during February 2009, the Festival will contact you. It is as easy as that! Why not become a Friend of the Festival? The Friends Office is located at 25 Lion Street, Hay, HR3 5AD.
