SUMMARY:Webinar: What do you need to know before purchasing a heat pump?
DESCRIPTION:The webinar aims to cover a broad range of topics you should be aware of before purchasing a heat pump. \n\nHow do heat pumps work?\nWhich homes are most suitable (including cylinders\, outside space)?\nThermal insulation improvements\nHistoric homes\nTemperature versus efficiency/cost/CO2 and weather compensation\nReducing flow temperatures and upsizing radiators\nLocating a heat pump\, noise\, planning permission\nHot water cylinders\nControls\nTime of day tariffs\nDo you run them 24-7? Most efficient ways of running them\nInstallation costs\nHow to go about getting quotes? Installers versus energy companies\nFollow-up services offered by Transition Bath & BWCE\n\nThere will be the opportunity for questions and answers during the webinar but specific questions about individual properties will be deferred to a 1:1 meeting with homeowners being offered as a follow-up to these webinars. \nWe will provide a link to the webinar to those registered just before the event. \nBook a free place here – we will contact you with the webinar details\, weblink a couple of days before the event. The event is mainly aimed at residents of Bath & North East Somerset.

SUMMARY:Faultlines in Sustainability 2: Sustainable Eating
DESCRIPTION:BRLSI is currently running a series of one-day events on sustainability policy. These are focused on ‘Fault Lines’ between alternative approaches to net zero where it isn’t yet entirely clear what will be the best thing to do. Each meeting considers just one of these Fault Lines and brings a panel of experts to discuss the way forward. The second of these events is about sustainable eating. \nThe Faultline is about the desirability or otherwise of manufactured ‘meat-alternative’ foods. It is generally agreed that animal farming is a major source of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change\, and that it would be beneficial to reduce the number of animals\, especially cattle\, on British farms. But what would people eat? Not everyone wishes to be vegetarian or vegan\, and so we must expect that there will be a future shift from real meat to palatable and nutritious meat-alternatives made from plants or microbial proteins. Even insect proteins are being considered. On the other hand\, will such alternatives provide a proper balance of protein and other nutrients? This is especially important for children. Moreover\, these meat-alternatives will necessarily be manufactured in laboratories or factories\, and there is currently much concern over the adverse health consequences of ‘ultra-processed foods’ (UPFs). And in the end\, do we really want to eat food that is not ‘natural’? \nThe Faultlines #2 meeting will bring together a number of UK experts to discuss the pros and cons of meat-alternative sources of protein. \nThey include the well-known commentator in the media on food\, farming and food security\, Professor Tim Lang from City St George’s\, University of London\, who will introduce the issues and offer his own opinions on the way forward. Mark Lynas is an author\, speaker\, podcaster and campaigner. He also acts as science advisor with the 74-country Climate Vulnerable Forum\, and is Head of Policy with the pro-science environmental campaign network WePlanet. He will present the case that it is essential to avoidance of climate breakdown that that there is extensive take-up of meat alternatives. Another important figure at the meeting will be Dr Tamsin Blaxter from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food at Oxford University. She will focus specifically on the requirement to get dietary proteins right. \nBut what about the meat replacements themselves? What are they\, and are they safe? Professor Stuart Reynolds(University of Bath) will talk about plant-based meat-alternatives\, and will assess whether they really do permit fewer greenhouse gas emissions than real meat. Professor Marianne Ellis from the University of Bath will argue that the best solution to the meat substitutes problem will be to grow cultured animal cells in industrial scale laboratories. On the other hand\, Dr Daniel Amor from the University of Bristol will argue that mass-reared Insects can be an important protein source for human food and animal feed. But will people really eat them? Erik Millstone (Science Policy Research Unit\, University of Sussex): will talk about ultraprocessed foods and how they are (or aren’t) currently regulated. \nAll of this will be discussed by a panel of other experts\, who will also answer questions. Its members will includeProfessor Jennie MacDiarmid\, who is Director for the Interdisciplinary Centre for Health\, Nutrition and Wellbeing at the University of Aberdeen) and Dustin Benton\, now a consultant at Forefront Advisors. Dustin previously worked at Defra\, where he was Chief Analytical Advisor to Henry Dimbleby’s National Food Strategy\, and led on climate and renewables at the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE). \nThe event will include a provided lunch\, mostly conventional food\, though samples of meat and dairy replacement foods\, including insect protein\, will be available to try (participation not obligatory!). \nBook tickets now.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk About Fashion Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:According to the UN Environment Programme\, the fashion industry is the world’s second-biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. \nYet fashion and clothing are also key statements of individuality and mediators of human understanding\, connection\, and distinction. Is it possible to transform our thinking about fashion and design toallow fashionable clothing to become sustainable? This talk introduces the Centre for Sustainable Fashion’s ‘Framework for Design’; examining the context of fashion design from the viewpoints of both planetary and social justice\, it will explore four agendas of fashion as nature\, cultures\, society and economy. \nProfessor Dilys Williams FRSA\, Director of Centre for Sustainable Fashion\, London College of Fashion\, University of the Arts\, London. \n  \nTickets £3-£6
