Presentation by the Guildford Environment Forum
Thanks to Adrian Thompson from the Guildford Environment Forum for organising a very informative climate change presentation on 20th January. The speaker, Henrietta Stock, a Climate Reality Leader outlined the stark facts. This was followed by a lively discussion - if you'd like to know more about the GEF, please take a look at their website.
Burpham Air Pollution Community Workshop review
Do you worry about the impact the heavy traffic through Burpham has on air quality? The Burpham Community Association (BCA) has been working with Professor Kumar and his Global Centre for Clean Air Research team at Surrey University and we have already recorded some interesting results.
We hosted a workshop on air pollution on Saturday 12th January in the Village Hall. It started with a very informative presentation from Professor Kumar on the different kinds of air pollution and the effects they can have. Then we looked at ways we can mitigate the damage. Thanks to Professor Kumar and his fantastic team from Surrey University GCARE team for such an interesting morning.
We still have some pollution sensors in key areas of Burpham so if you would like to find out more then please contact our secretary (secretary@burphamca.org.uk)
