People, Planet, Pint has always been about bringing people together to share what is going on in the local community, and ultimately, give hope that things are indeed happening.
On the 7th of December, People Planet Pint is planning something special for their monthly sustainability meetup: a unified alternative COP28 event, with PPP’s all over the country at the same time, bringing together people to chat and learn about local projects and action they can get involved with or inspired by.
You’re invited to join the “Congress of the People Planet Pints”, or “COPPP28” in Chipping Norton.

Retrofit Special
Home Comforts - A Guide to Quality Retrofit
Online : Monday 27th February 20.00 – 21.30
At a time when the cost of living has soared, due to energy prices, the cost of heating our homes is on everyone's mind. Retrofitting your home to save energy and reduce costs is probably the first thing you should be thinking about.
Building on the campaign that West Oxfordshire Green Party started over two years ago, with its first workshop on “Net Zero, Warm Homes and Green Jobs”, we have now organised a "retrofit special" when we will be looking at examples of best practice. We will be discussing some of the initiatives presently underway and asking " What else we could be doing?".
The programme and details of how to register are here:

23rd February 4:00-600 pm onwards
at the Saïd Business School, Oxford
23/02/2023 16:00 onwards
A topical debate at the Saïd Business School with experts followed by drinks & networking to keep the conversation going.
The debate subject
If everyone lived like the average European, we would need nearly 3 planets to sustain us. Rising consumerism has been linked to environmental degradation and runaway resource use by those with greater buying power, and others have challenged the very economic systems we operate within and the metrics of wellbeing that we use e.g. GDP.
But could economic growth be successfully decoupled from environmental impact? And is increasing consumption THE key obstacle to achieving sustainability in all its multiple forms? Or are there other areas/obstacles that we should be prioritising first?
