Energy and Climate

Responding to high energy bills, lack of decent jobs and the threat of ‘climate change’ can seem intimidating.  Sustainable Hackney proposes a vision of a borough that empowers and supports anyone who wants to be energy efficient, get a green job or simply lead a more sustainable life.
