Good morning John,

In this week's live event we discussed how Home is a Green Issue. There is so much about life that humans can’t control. But, what we can do, is design systems which ensure everyone has equal opportunity to live without fear of want for work, home, food and healthcare. Ingredients for living a dignified life.   

The conversation explored how to create an economy that works for people and planet, and the impact on nature - all with a focus on housing. And how our connection to place impacts the wellbeing of communities, families, individuals and the environment.

Next week we will continue to dig deeper into the subject of Home as a Green Issue. Engaging in more conversations about how Better IS Possible - because better is already beginning to happen.

WATCH THE REPLAY How would an economy that works for people and planet (rather than the other way around) impact the nature and focus of housing? Why do we consider housing to be an economic issue? How does connection to place impact the wellbeing of communities, families, individuals and the environment? Panelists included Mya-Rose Craig, aka Bird Girl, Tom Chance, joint CEO of the National Community Land Trust Network, Dr Nancy Holmen, Associate Professor of Urban Planning in the Department of Geography and Environmental Science at LSE, The artist Marcos Lutyens and Tyrone Scott from Shelter (and The Green Party) Watch the reply of this week's event by clicking the button below.

2 SEPTEMBER 6PM RSVP for our next event, where we will discuss the link between homes, health, work and environment at a community level. And how these intersects ripple out to enhance belonging, dignity, and security for our neighbours and the world around us. Guests include Agamemnon Otero MBE, co-CEO of Energy Garden and co-CEO of Repowering London and Director of the three Brixton Energy Solar Cooperatives. And Sebastian Cox, a bespoke fine furniture and homeware designer, who creates with a nature-first perspective through a rewilding project in Kent

CREATING GREEN JOBS for energy includes making sure that our main electricity sources by 2030 are renewables -- wind, sun and waves. Renewable energy is a clean, abundant source of energy that has positive rather than degenerative effects on the planet. Ecotricity uses the money from your energy bill to build new sources of renewable energy like windmills and sun mills. Ecotricity donates £50 to the Green Party for every switch.

Thank you for your support, we wish you a lovely weekend!

Kind regards,

Green Party Events Team 💚
