BZE ran three presentations at the 2007 Sustainable Living Festival.

Our key event was titled "Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change - Zero Emission Minus Option" and ran in the Think Tent on Saturday 17th between 3pm and 4pm. Adrian Whitehead, Matthew Wright, Chris Taylor and Philip Sutton talked through various issues on the subject and were well received. 50 people watched the talk, despite the intense heat inside the tent and a programming clash with another climate change event run in the cooler and much larger "Edge" theater.

There were also two presentations for schoolchildren, both on Friday 16th. The first was titled 'Climate Change For Kids', was run by Adrian Whitehead and Paula Rowlings, and was aimed at children as young as eight years old. The second was titled 'Climate Change for Secondary Students'. The Climate Change for kids talk went really well.

Both of these talks are designed to explore what climate change is, its impacts and the solutions.

The festival showcased a huge range of exhibitors, talks, workshops, art, films and performances celebrating and inspiring sustainable communities. Numbers seemed a bit down because of the heat but those who came seemed really interested and the food was great!
