A team of York residents in the Scarcroft Road area of the city organised a Green Scarecrow Festival to raise awareness of what local residents can do to tackle climate change.

On Sunday 16 May our group met with Jonathan Tyler, an expert on sustainable transport and Chair of the York Environment Forum, to discuss the future of transport in York and local transport issues. The meeting was attended by 7 of us.

Scarcroft Road team discussed transport at their meeting last meeting.

It has been educational and great fun being involved in the Green Streets project and nice to get to know a few more of my neighbours. I have enjoyed discussing various ways of reducing our carbon footprint: loft insulation, growing our own veg, veggie boxes, ways to reduce waste and maximise recycling, composting and power tool sharing to name but a few.

Maybe it's new bulbs and spring weather but March has seen plenty of activity on Bishopthorpe Road: The Energy Saving Trust visited our monthly meeting with plenty of help and advice on home and travel CO2 reduction.

So I'm thinking it must be a conspiracy. Sign up for this Green streets thing and stuff starts breaking.
