Of the myriad approaches to tackling climate change, Greenpeace UK has come up with one of the most clever and innovative approaches in recent history. Calling it Airplot!, they’ve bought up a piece of land smack dab in the middle of the proposed expansion area of Heathrow Airport, with the aim of stopping a third runway from ever being built. Aside from leveling an entire village, the expansion of a third runway would blow the UK’s climate targets out of the water. Needless to say, Greenpeace UK, Oscar winning actress Emma Thompson, comedian Alistair McGowan and prospective Tory parliamentary candidate Zac Goldsmith, along with the nearly 37,000 people that have signed up as ‘beneficial owners’ of the land are up in arms and will stop at nothing to stop the expansion.

Sustainable energy is now more than ever an important topic, with climate change and energy security presenting themselves as some of the most pressing challenges of our time. The need to build a sustainable energy future has moved front and center in the public eye as the relevance of these issues becomes more and more clear. “The era of fossil fuels will soon be over and it's up to us to provide our children with a secure future, powered by clean, renewable energy,” says BC Sustainable Energy Association board member, Bronwyn Maxwell.

That’s why we are proud to announce our recent launch of the BC Sustainable Energy Association’s new website. An influential organization in the province and beyond, the BCSEA is dedicated to building a sustainable energy future for British Columbia.
