Feeling such inspiration from listening to Jonathan Porritt at our CAT members conference. An author that populated my eco-book shelf right at the start, so impressed with his persistence, openess and honesty, as well as his arguments!

I’ve said this before but… heat pumps are really quite boring, and it says quite a lot about the state of debate in Britain that we’ve managed to make them controversial. Credit to Evan for trying to make them not controversial

Last week we welcomed students at the Centre for Alternative Technology and online for our immersive ‘Cities and Communities’ module teaching week. They engaged with thought-provoking lectures, design workshops, practicals and fieldwork. 3rd year at the helm of this one and it's a real privilege
