£19.50 / £10 students , start 8pm Tom Heap, author, BBC Countryfile, BBC Radio 4’s Rare Earth, and Sky News’ Climate Show presenter, will bust media peddled myths about the cost of green energy, the unpopularity of climate action, the role of China and the unshakeable dominance of fossil fuels. But he will also aim a couple of swipes at dogmatic environmentalists.  Tom lays out a reset to the climate message: it can now be selfish, not selfless. It doesn’t even need to be about climate, just cost.  “Houses have solar panels; villages own wind turbines and countries harness the elements that bless their land. ‘Going Green’ is portrayed as pricey medicine administered from above – something done to you. But it can and should be done with you. And now that works.” Tom Heap  Expect storytelling, insight, humour and genuine optimism – exploring how people across the UK are fixing what’s broken and building a greener future. A perfect evening for fans of talks, ideas and meaningful conversation.
