How to contact our team nationally and around the country
Watching the second leaders’ debate and pleased to see climate change has finally got a mention. David Cameron talked about his green deal. Nick Clegg reiterated his party’s commitment to a programme of ‘mass’ insulation installation. Great – we’ve been saying for some time that the economies of scale mean that targeting one house here, another three streets away is pointless. Gordon Brown countered by pointing out that his Future Jobs Fund programme is engaged in training young people up to do just that - it is and we are, in partnership with British Gas.
The important point to remember though, is that without accompanying action on behaviour change, energy efficiency measures will not have any real impact. We need to help people understand how their lifestyles affect the environment – and as a trusted community organisation that has been working in neighbourhoods for more than twenty years, trusted community organisations like Groundwork are well placed to do so.
