Alternatives to Owning a Fossil-Fuel Car
Lift Sharing, electric car leasing, electric mopeds and scooters, short-term car hire and electric bikes. What's available now?
The days when everyone owns a fossil-fuel car are numbered. The internal combustion engine is dirty and inefficient and most of us leave this expensive asset idle for 95% of the time. The alternatives are out there and developing fast but many of us don't know they exist.

Changing Your Food to Save the Planet
Changing Your Food to Save the Planet
How far can you go towards decarbonising your food? How much could you grow - even with no garden? What are the latest developments in low-carbon food supply? Now is the time to rethink what we eat.
Land use contributes 25% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. We need to re-set our food economy fast - and we all have a role to play.
This event will feature several speakers talking about their personal and professional experiences, and there will be plenty of time for questions, answers, and for you to exchange your ideas on how we decarbonise our food.
Again, tickets to ensure your place in the Zoom meeting for this event are available through Facebook and Eventbrite.

How to Get Bristol Walking and Cycling
How to Get Bristol Walking and Cycling
Most journeys are less than 2 km and we could walk or cycle them - but we don’t. What are the obstacles and how do we get around them? How do we make sure Bristol comes out of lockdown with a greater cycling and walking culture?
Tom Swithinbank from Bristol’s Cycling Campaign and Alan Morris from Bristol Walking Alliance will be giving us some thoughts on how other cities have tackled this, and where Bristol is on its ‘journey’. We'll also be joined by Travel West to tell us about all of the practical help they offer people to get them walking and cycling.
You can reserve your ticket through Facebook or Eventbrite.
