Just over 24 hours to go until our final Green Conversation of 2025. If you missed our last Green Conversations event – you should try to get to this one on 10th November at the Brookmill, when three eminent speakers will present their expertise using graspable language. Young people are especially welcome. We all know about climate change and we hear of some amazing inventions that look promising. But will they really work? And how might local communities deal with this knowledge? As these questions raise complex issues, we are fortunate to have this unique meeting of minds to help us find our own answers.
The running order is as follows:
7:30 – Welcome and announcements
7.35pm – Prof. Chris Ryan – WHAT HAPPENED TO ECODESIGN?
After 3 or 4 decades of watching progress slow down, Prof. Ryan asks how we might regain our initial passion and pioneering spirit for eco-designing?
7.55pm – Daniel Ptacek – WILL CARBON CAPTURE SAVE US?
Daniel has been at the forefront of innovation in decarbonisation technologies since the turn of the century. Will his ventures reduce global carbon, or will advances in carbon capture merely play into the hands of the ‘drill baby drill’ lobbyists?
8.15 – Professor Phillip Jones – A ZERO-CARBON BUILT ENVIRONMENT?
Professor Phillip Jones will share his experiences as a building scientist. He will offer practical and up to date insights based on his design and research work for communities and buildings at an individual and urban scale.
8.35 – Break / drinks
8.50 – Q & A (Panel Discussion)
