When your work makes you zing

I have just been to a meeting and been inspired. It was about something called the Greening Campaign which is a not for profit organisation (ie like a business but where profits are reinvested into the business) enabling communities to look at climate change as something they can manage rather than a 'big brick wall' as the presenter explained it.

There are various stages involved - please look at the website www.greening-campaign.co.uk - but the beauty of it is that it gets streets and communities aware that each other, their neighbours, are doing their own 'bit' but the simple method of putting a card in the window if they are undertaking some simple things (like washing at 30 degrees, or using energy saving lightbulbs). Terena, the lady behind it and who gave the talk, likened it to how people decorated their homes during the world cup, and how it engendered a visible sign of community.

As I say, look at the website. This has taken off around the country as people look at their part in climate change as positive and tangible. I for one will be looking at this more - very surely though 'work' work, but in Hove... Could it start something in your area?
