SUMMARY:Biophilic Bath - The Green City You See
DESCRIPTION:A new exhibition at the Museum of Bath Architecture presents creative visions for engaging with nature in urban areas. Biophilic Bath – The Green City You See\, from 10 July – September\, will feature designs by innovative architects\, engineers\, and designers\, which show future ‘biophilic’ visions of the city. Exhibition entrance is included in the cost of Museum entry. \nBiophilic design is defined as “design which focuses on those aspects of the natural world that have contributed to human health and productivity in the age-old struggle to be fit and survive”. The exhibition will present a variety of radical ideas that intrigue\, delight and energize\, and inspire the future sustainability and climate resilience of the city. \nAlex Sherman\, CEO of BPT\, says: “From 2024 developers in the UK will be required to increase the biodiversity of their sites by 10% under the new biodiversity net gain legislation\, so city greening and sustainability are priorities now – not just in the future. \nJoanna Robinson\, Sustainability and Design Manager at BPT says: “Each of these imaginative site-specific biophilic design responses includes direct or indirect experiences of nature\, incorporates low carbon materials and urban greening and nurtures the love of Bath and its unique landscape setting. We hope that this new exhibition will get people thinking and talking about a new consciousness towards restorative\, habitat-friendly urban design for people and nature.” \nImage: Biophilic Bath submission from Eliza Gray Gardens \nThe Museum of Bath Architecture\, The Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel\, The Vineyards\, Bath. Open from Wednesday to Saturday\, 10am-4pm\, every week.

SUMMARY:BRLSI talk: Putting Climate Change Solutions on the Supermarket Shelf
DESCRIPTION:Tackling human-induced climate change requires solutions at every level; how about in the supermarket? \nIn this talk at BRLSI (and also online)\, Professor Chris Chuck will give an overview of three major projects that he has led over the last few years where the team has taken a fundamental scientific idea\, modelled the economic and climate impacts and further developed the technology through to commercialisation. These include: developing a biodegradable\, seaweed alternative to petroplastic packaging\, producing an edible oil to replace palm oil made from a yeast grown on waste food\, and developing sustainable\, alternative food products directly from grass. \nWho knows what you’ll find next time you go to the shops! \nProfessor Christopher J Chuck\, Department of Chemical Engineering\, University of Bath

SUMMARY:Communities of Food Growers Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Transition Bath for a walk that celebrates growing sites where local people tend crops to end up on their dinner plate. Both sites promote organic growing and regeneration of the soil as important contributions to addressing the climate crisis. \nWe will meet at the well-established community garden of Bath Organic Group at the Lower Common site. Here people grow and share crops amongst themselves\, as well as creating surpluses for the monthly Farmers’ Market stall. We will end at the Roots allotment site at Newbridge\, where individual plot holders grow for their own use. This walk offers contrasting examples of group gardening or individual gardening in a supportive community\, and encourages anyone to get involved! \nWhen we meet at 11am we’ll have short tours around the gardens and orchard\, and join the volunteers for their morning break: tea and cake for everyone. Then we’ll take the riverside path out to Newbridge where the Roots site manager will take us on a tour round the site and willingly talk about the no-dig principles they promote. You are welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy it at the Roots allotment site before you depart. \nThe walk is 3 miles\, mainly level\, with a few steep steps and some rough ground on the approach to Roots site. We will note a few historical features along the river path. In general this walk is child-friendly\, but there is a long stretch along unprotected river bank where close supervision would be important. \nPlease note that dogs are not allowed on this walk. \nThe end point is close to the Upper Bristol Road\, offering buses back to the centre of Bath. Alternatively you could make your own way back along the riverside path\, or the Bristol-Bath railway path. \nWalk leaders are Lyn Barham and other members of Transition Bath and BOG. \nMeet at 11am at the gate into Lower Common allotments. This is opposite the Hop Pole pub\, and beside the entrance to the children’s play area.

SUMMARY:Plastic Free Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Plastic is poisoning our world and our bodies. Releasing tonnes of CO2 and toxins\, choking wildlife and infiltrating human bodies\, plastic is far more than just an eyesore. We can’t recycle our way out of this toxic problem\, but together we can reduce our plastic use and put pressure on governments and companies to do the same. Join our workshop to discover our tips and tricks for reducing your plastic consumption across all areas of life\, as well as advocating for systemic change. This is a guilt-free zone\, where we acknowledge it is impossible to be perfect in systems pumped full of plastic. The workshop will cover: \n\nPlastic reduction on a budget\nPlastic free supermarket trips and food\nPlastic free toiletries and cosmetics\nPlastic free cleaning\nClothing and laundry\n\nGet your tickets

SUMMARY:TALK: Restorative Connections with Rob Delius
DESCRIPTION:With our fragile planet facing huge environmental threats right now\, there is no better time to question our relationship with the natural world – how we can live more in harmony with our environment and invite the beauty of nature into our own lives\, physically and spiritually. \nRob Delius of Stride Treglown will be exploring this theme\, sharing examples of what biophilia means to him personally\, showing how nature-connectedness features in his and practice’s work\, and challenging us to imagine what a radical\, enticing and urgently-needed\, biodiversity-rich future might look like. He will also be talking through Stride Treglown’s ‘Tree of Dreams’ proposal for the Biophilic Bath exhibition\, which he is hoping will become a reality in 2025 \nRob Delius is an architect and Head of Sustainability for Stride Treglown. He was winner of the RIBA Imagine Bath Competition and was behind Stride Treglown’s Sinking House climate-awareness installation in 2021 and more recently instigated the Funeral for Nature event which campaigned for more action on biodiversity. He has produced the winning entry for RIBA competition: ‘Tomorrow’s Garden City: A Sustainable Approach to Living’ and was behind Stride Treglown’s runner-up entry for RIBA competition: ‘Re-imagining the Garden City’. He is also part of placemaking collective Architecture Is who held a Therapeutic City Festival a few years ago. He has been interviewed by and written articles for the Journal of Biophilic Design. \nStride Treglown are an employee-owned\, carbon-neutral\, multi-disciplinary architecture practice\, with about 25 employees in Bath.
