Interesting 'green' community intiative in Peckham.

Interested to read this example of a community led intiative in Peckham from The Londonist

Thanks for this Liz. I'm attending their conference Saturday with a few others.
Great, let us know what you find out. Make a good blog post maybe?
Had a very interesting afternoon at this community event organised in the main for residents of Peckham and looking at how people can come together to share information on reducing energy use within their own homes. This included workshops on various renewable energy options. There was even food provided by the community centre 'Spike'. Lovely it was too.

They are now in the process of setting up working groups to take things forward.

See reaction to the days events on video. There are other video for your interest as well.
