Seven Squared

Getting on board

29 October 2007

Apart from the obvious connection between curries and climate change, it was great to go out to Brick Lane with a throng of Seven Squarers last Thursday. After watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth we headed to Brick Lane for a hefty feed and continue the debate. Action against climate change has to be fought on many fronts, of course. Our drive on reducing CO2 omissions is headed up by one 'carbon trust' group that are aiming to make us 100% carbon neutral both internally as an agency and externally as a supplier. Sophie Finch and myself are heading up the group so get in touch if you think there's a way you would like to see us moving the group forward. Or, blog it in this space. The picture, by the way, is of Sea Containers House at 7pm. Assuming that our neighbours who occupy these floors aren't all beavering away at overtime, one of the many things our carbon group is doing is contacting the other companies we share the building with and getting a plan of action on a single, cleaner energy source and some rules of thumb - like not leaving all the lights, computers and phone chargers on 24/7. Good to see our friends at web agency Poke London spearheading a campaign to help strengthen the Climate Change Bill, which quite frankly does need some major changes.
