Welcome! It's always tricky deciding what to highlight when
writing this introduction. However, two events coming along in May
stand out.
On 8th of May, we have a presentation by Edward Mayer about
swifts, and how they can be conserved. Has anyone spotted one yet?
A bit early perhaps, but a Crediton summer wouldn't feel right
without a swift screaming party circling above the Square.
On 20th May we continue our film programme with the showing of
Power to the People. Tony Blair has recently intervened in the net
zero debate, arguing for more emphasis on technological fixes such
as carbon capture, and greater investment in nuclear power.
Meanwhile, as our chosen film shows, people in Cornwall are rolling
up their sleeves and finding practical ways of reducing our
dependance on fossil fuels. There will be plenty of time after the
film for discussion with our excellent panel, all of whom have
hands on experience in the field of energy conservation / renewable
energy.
We hope to see you at both of these events; and at our Bluebell
Walk on 17 May. Phew!
