Here is an extract from Sacy Lloyd’s Carbon diaries + a few questions to be answered!
The book chronicles a year of the life of Laura, a sixteen-year-old student in London, as the UK imposes carbon rationing in the wake of weather-related disasters. The stresses of rationing and extreme weather tear at the social fabric of Europe and England, while Laura’s family is torn apart as her father loses his job and her selfish older sister refuses to adapt. Laura just wants to live a normal life, attract the attention of the fetching and accomplished boy next door, and practice with her friends in her garage band.

Watch the videos again to better understand what this housing development scheme aims to.
The BedZed pavillion is a housing development in Hackbridge in Sutton that has encorporated ways to reduce energy use – while also generating all that’s used on site to be as efficient as possible.
Take a tour of the UK’s first mainstream eco-village. Located in south London, BedZED is a sustainable live/work community with solutions for food, travel and waste. Environmental organisation, BioRegional, who are partners in the project, lead the tour.
