Green economic development in Britain

Definitely worth looking at, this publication from NEF. Tackling Climate Change, Reducing Poverty Here's an example of good news which illustrates the point and why our government should be considering this path as a major part of its somewhat Keynesian plan to spend us out of recession: "in a deprived community in Braunstone, Leicester, an alliance of local groups helped raise funds for photovoltaic solar energy systems to be placed on the roofs of 50 south-facing houses. Local small firms were given training to install the solar panels, which have now cut carbon emissions on the estate and lifted residents out of fuel poverty"
And I say, perhaps this is another area that local churches ought to be looking at encouraging as part of their community development mission; something which should also build local resiliance.
