Floods, Drought, Innovation and UpStream Thinking

One month of heavy rain is welcome, but unless we have a particularly sodden summer and, more importantly, a damp-and-dreary winter, supplies could start to look very sparse indeed. That’s particularly true in the south and east of England, which depend on underground aquifers to store a large proportion of water supplies. The levels in these aquifers rely on winter rain to drip through the rocks above. Summer rain tends to run off, evaporate or get absorbed by growing plants. So the U.K problem is not how much rain falls from the sky but how effectively we capture and utilise that water. Yet there has been an unwillingness in recent years to invest in big infrastructure.

Growing doubts for the UK “Green Deal”
April 10th, 2012 |

Unveiled in 2010, the Green Deal was to be “a once-and-for-all refit”, making “every home in Britain ready for a low-carbon future”. The idea was simple: a participating company pays to install efficiency measures such as insulation in a home and the consumer repays them out of the resulting savings on their energy bills.
Green deal kicks off without main energy companies, M&S & Tesco

Three of the Big Six energy companies, Marks & Spencer and Tesco are missing from the initial list of companies offering home insulation. Leading supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury’s were expected to offer home improvement services as part of the loan scheme, which is designed to increase energy efficiency in draughty British homes, nearly half of which do not have loft or cavity wall insulation.
Fair Trade – Proving “experts” wrong

No Comments
Certainly the “experts” never predicted the continued growth of Fairtrade… one of the expected consequences of the 2008 crash was the expected stalling or even the collapse of the Green economy. Environmental focus and social consequences would make way to the necessities of household economics.
