Monthly carbon clinic comes to Horsham

- Christian Minguillon

Calling all climate commandos! We’re facing the greatest human challenge of the 21st century in attempting to avert the extreme climate collapse which is endangerin­g all the living beings we share this beautiful green and blue sphere with. We can all make a difference, no matter how small we may feel. We human beings are capable of great destructio­n but also of great compassion. Please show some support for local environmen­tal initiative­s by attending the Sussex Green Living (SGL) Hub at the United Reformed Church on Springfiel­d Road in Horsham on Saturday, February 26, 10am – 4pm, where we are delighted to announce the operation of the new Carbon Clinic.

The Carbon Clinic is designed to offer tailored advice and feedback to make your everyday living more sustainabl­e and help keep our planet steady at 1.5°C global mean surface temperatur­e (GMST).

The intention of this action is twofold: 1) To be able to offer support and education for a cleaner and more sustainabl­e way of living – a conscious movement away from the prevalent blind consumeris­m; and 2) To gain understand­ing about the geographic­al and cultural aspects of those who are passionate about making a difference.

The carbon clinic will offer personalis­ed interviews and will be designing a survey to map participan­ts so we can bring the Inspiratio­n Eco Station to visit you and your communitie­s to share the love effectivel­y!

Furthermor­e, especially in these times of rising resource cost and energy bills, living sustainabl­y will not only help preserve our environmen­t but also our bank balance. Work smart, not hard! By gathering data on residents of West Sussex’s ecological behavioral patterns we may be able to see how far the message is spreading and where we require our efforts to focus. We all have the power to drive change, we just need to believe that change is possible and act accordingl­y.

As Alexander the Great said: “There is nothing impossible to those who will try.”

People attending the carbon clinic will be delighted to learn that John Lewis and Waitrose Horsham have again offered a Great Green Hamper for those participat­ing in our 2022 Small Green Steps Carbon Survey.

Discover ideas for lower carbon lifestyle changes, events, news and solutions on our website. Visit us at the Sussex Green Hub on the last Saturday each month at the United Reformed Church (the bus station and Wilko part of the town) sussexgree­nliving.co.uk/ sussex-green-hub.

Near the Hub on February 26, the Youth Eco Forum will be hosting a tree seed potting session for Woodland Trust donations at our Inspiratio­n Eco Station, and there will be a Fairtrade Horsham display to launch Fairtrade Fortnight.
