We heard lots of talk at Solar & Storage Live yesterday about community energy.
Highlight of the day was the panel discussion on ’How developers can support local communities when developing solar farms’ 🙌🏼 Watch this space!!! 👀

Our planet is losing its capacity to mop up CO2 due to climate breakdown: wildfires, drought, storms, floods, new pests + diseases, and plant heat stress all reduce the amount plants can absorb.
Yet emissions are STILL increasing at around 1.2% per year.
