Findhorn Fellow and developer of the Zero Carbon Britain project, Paul Allen, responds to questions about climate change in the lead up to the climate talks in Paris in December 2015....

5 November 2014 2 Comments

On the heels of this week's IPCC climate change report, Findhorn Fellow, Paul Allen, addresses the big question, 'What will it take for us to find the will to change?'

Once a cultural shift is catalysed, legal and political frameworks quickly follow suit." And not only that, Paul contends that "once we are equipped with the right tools, the way … Continue reading
