Human impacts are real, we need to reduce them. Each of us has a role to play. And while we need to reduce carbon emissions & destruction of biosphere, we must provide for everyone's needs. This is the challenge of this decade & this century. We're trying to do our part. Join us!

What if Torbay were full of local enterprises that offered good jobs, goods & services that made life here better? Shall we just hope our politicians will sort it? Or shall we take on the roles of entrepreneur, investor, organiser, supporter? We're on the side of action. Join us!

#ClimateChange : how bad could the future be if we do nothing?

#ClimateCrisis is no longer a looming threat – people are now living with extreme weather events. There is still everything to fight for - reducing emissions now means we could stay below 2˚C.
