We need to “re-introduce” ‘Garden Cities’ these are important concepts, with enormous potential to
- firstly, cope with immediate and vital volume housing demand.
- Secondly, it gives an opportunity to allow inhabitants to take control of their “decentralised” Energy costs –
- not to be subservient to inefficient centralised energy and
- variable wholesale energy costs.
- Thirdly, The ‘Net Zero’ agenda mis-casts bio-methane as a ‘fossil fuel’ – clearly it is not; it’s a vital feedback loop between organic wastes, farm wastes, sewage etc to allow energy generation via CHP (combined Heat and Power) and even transport fuels!
- Permaculture Farming locally for food security
Let nothing go to waste!
With local ‘farming’ [Permaculture Techniques – including Allotments and many ‘Community Farms’] as an important addition to these New Garden Cities, we move away from the strategy of “Just-in-Time” (JIT) deliveries, and back to a locally adapted community.
Lastly, we suggest that such a development would be – not just ‘Net Zero’ but ‘Negative (below) Zero’!! Taking Carbon (dioxide) and the much more damaging methane, out of the ‘equation’ as it were.
