Idea for a zero carbon world concert
Unfortunately, Copenhagen didn't get the climate deal we needed. There is therefore another opportunity to publicise the issues and get through to the politicians before the next climate summit in Mexico at the end of this year. We could hold a zero carbon world concert to demand a zero carbon world. Please get in touch if you have any ideas on how to do this, or contacts with musicians, organisers, or renewable electricity energy providers, by emailing chris.keene@tiscali.co.uk or phoning +44 (0)1603 614535
Thanks
This is a somewhat belated note to thank everyone who helped with the zero carbon caravan - all those who helped with the organisation and advice, gave donations, contributed to the website, made applications for grants, all those who provided food and accommodation, those who arranged meetings, press conferences and visits, and got in touch with the press, those who helped out when I got lost, helped with writing press releases, organised some wonderful parties on the way, helped fixing cycles, played in concerts, participated in conferences and meetings, cycled with us on the journey, or gave a lift on a yacht.
We got quite a bit of media coverage - three TV interviews and four on radio, mentions in the Times, Independent, Guardian and Telegraph and dozens of local newspapers, and lots of coverage on the internet.
We visited lots of interesting places showing solutions to climate change - in transport, energy, buildings, lifestyle and food production, as well as interviewing lots of people and visiting some really inspiring places demonstrating such ideas to the public.
We had four zero carbon concerts - two acoustic, one using solar electricity, and the other using electricity generated by a bicycle, and we held an international telephone conference at the University of East Anglia, as well as numerous public meetings.
In Copenhagen, the information collected on the journey was put onto datasticks and presented to two parliamentarians, Colin Challen, the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group in the UK, and Ingrid Nestle, the spokesperson on energy economics for the Greens in the German Parliament.
