An inspiring & sustainable future

Carbon Neutral by 2030... Let's do it!

Let's inspire and show everyone how it is done.

The council's role in this is to remove the barriers to success and incentivize sensible behaviour. This forum is a fantastic way to raise awareness about what is going on and share knowledge and ideas.

To this end the Cornwall I would like to see is:

- A community continuing to pioneer renewable energy technology.

- Install robust electric car charging infrastructure. Reach out to Tesla for some superchargers nearer than Lifton!

- Invest much more significantly in a cycle network connecting every town and village by tracks and trails away from roads.

- New housing stock should be built to the highest energy efficiency standards. I.e. if the government are aiming for an EPC grade A in the future then this should be the minimum standard for new stock now.

- Existing housing stock should receive significant financial support to upgrade its energy efficiency standards. This issue is significant and it would be worth considering taking the consultation element of this in house rather than rely on 3rd parties.

- Our food must be seasonal and local. We should support local farmers and farm shops. It must be cost effective and convenient to chose to buy local.

In short, I want a Net Zero Lifestyle to be an option available to everyone. Currently not everyone has the money or options to make the right choices.

Consider following me on YouTube @NetZeroHow as I transition to Net Zero. Thank you Let's Talk Cornwall for providing a fantastic plantorm for discussion and ideas.
