Exploring the World of Bees

22nd July at 18:30-19:30 – Virtual Q&A Dinner Discussion

Source: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/740982944918213056/

In the ancient times, Exodus 3:8, NIV: God promised the Jews a land flowing with milk and honey. In Matthew 3:4, NIV John the Baptist was nourished with wild honey. Honey is a special food, in fact it is a super food!

Today we hear of bees dying and that our plants are at risks. So what is so special about the bees? What is the difference between bees and wasps? Will they sting me?

Come see bees at the Forestry Estate Community Hub

Richard Emmett is a local resident bee keeper with hives at a pub called The Beehive and at his local church The Journey. Join him for a discussion on bees and ask him any questions you may have to help you demystify the fact about bees. See here as The Journey Church follows his adventures with the bees.

Saturday Movie Night: The Way We Used to Do Things

18th July 7-8pm

Once upon a time waste didn’t happen! There was the ‘Dig for Victory / Grow Your Own’ push throughout the war, and reuse of bottles and people shopped at smaller local butchers/grocers/bakeries. There were no supermarkets or out of town shopping centres.

Egham Museum will be taking us on a journey to discover how we used to do things and how consumer habits have changed over the years.

Join us for a 20 minute dedicated feature film by Egham Museum for some to reminisce about what they did as children and for others to learn what their parents and grandparents did.

The film is currently in production and we will update details when it is complete. Links to come soon. To register interest click here.

With wildlife and species declining globally, EarthWatch, an international environmental charity has created a platform called Naturehood to encourage the world to bring nature back into their local communities and gardens. This platform is an excellent resource for individuals, communities and families who are interested in nature and want to encourage rewilding to improve the life of our wildlife. Ben Williams who is the Programme Director for Naturehood will showcase the platform and answer any questions you might have in a live virtual discussion on Nature in our Local Hood.

Creating a Low Carbon Home

Monday 13th July 6-7pm: Free ticketed live virtual dinner discussion

Many of us are interested in reducing the pollution we generate directly , whether that is through transportation (see Xavier Brice’s talk on this subject and ask him questions on 15th July) or simply via the energy generation needed to run one’s household. 13% of the UK’s carbon emissions comes from mainly heating our homes due to draughts and cold spots. A low carbon home is a more comfortable home with cleaner air and a healthy indoor temperature.

What’s more exciting, is your home can become a virtual power plant providing electricity to heat your home, charge an electric vehicle or to store energy for use later on.  As the UK is moving away from coal fired power stations, the grid carbon factor has halved since 2014.  So electrification and moving away from gas is a really important part of creating a low carbon home.

The difficult part is knowing where to start, so we are inviting you to a free virtual dinner discussion with our expert, Leah Robson, who will answer questions to help you on the road to a low carbon home.  Leah has installed heat pumps and solar panels in over 50 local homes and businesses and is especially keen on a whole house approach to look at how insulation and different technologies can work together to reduce CO2 emissions.

Saving or reducing the energy used also means saving money. That can be as simple as changing a light bulb!

Leah & Mister Squeak Fire

Resources:

  • Quick wins by the Energy Saving Trust
  • A range of tools, guides and reports to help your business or organisation

Leah, specialises in helping households to be carbon neutral. She will be running a live ticketed free virtual discussion on 13th July at 6-7pm. To join the discussion, register below and then be ready with questions and your dinner.

Pre-recorded Webinar: The Future of Travel With Xavier Brice

Air is essential for us, our animals and plants. The quality of our air is affecting us in insidious ways. For example: Four million children develop asthma every year as a result of air pollution from cars and trucks, equivalent to 11,000 new cases a day. Children are especially vulnerable to toxic air and exposure to it is known to leave them with stunted lungs. https://www.who.int/airpollution/news-and-events/how-air-pollution-is-destroying-our-health

See article on impact of traffic pollution on asthma: https://www.medclique.org/child-health/traffic-pollution-impact-childhood-asthma/

Xavier Brice spoke at UWE to provide an insight on living and moving well together. Enjoy the webinar and then join him for a free virtual dinner discussion on the 15th July at 6-7pm.
