June 2018 meeting: Sustainable Llandrindod
Tuesday 26th June, 7:00pm to 9:00pm
Commodore Hotel
Free admittance and all are welcome!
A discussion on the steps our local community can take towards becoming more self-sufficient. Come and take part and share your ideas for projects that you would like to see happen, from small gestures to grand designs!
The Llandrindod community has been doing great things to make ourselves 'future-proof''. However, with climatic impacts accelerating around the world, there is a long way to go, and worryingly little time to do it. Our dream is for Llandrindod to become a beacon for sustainability, local food production, and resilient communities. So… where do we go from here?
The evening will start with an introduction, then brief talks highlighting potential problems and opportunities in different areas, by Dorienne Robinson (Food), Sam Evans (Community) and Andy Bull (Energy). The chair will then open the discussion, with the aim of finding plans that can and will be taken forward to the next stage.
From small gestures to grand designs, all our activities combine to shape our community's future. The time has come to start taking those steps!
