Last night was the first anniversary of Hanover Action for Sustainable Living, a community group that started up after a showing of The Age of Stupid at Hanover Community Centre.
HASL have got involved in a number of different activities, including film showings, composting initiatives, promoting the 10:10 campaign and running a Food Group. There's a lot of effort going in to keeping it fresh and encouraging new people to get involved. From the buzz last night it seemed to be paying off.
Caroline Lucas was the guest speaker, and her comments about sustainability and politicial will were interesting, although I would have liked to have heard more about how she feels she as a Green MP can make an actual difference in practice to the environmental impact of this country, or her constituency.
The event has certainly given me a few new ideas to think about over the next few months. Watch this space!
