[112] SUSTAINABLE(ISH) LIVE AT TIMBER FESTIVAL – COMMUNITY ENERGY WITH BRIGHTON ENERGY CO-OPERATIVE

This episode was recorded live at Timber Festival over the summer and was my first every experience of a live podcast recording - I think it went ok!

Timber Festival is an annual festival in the National Forest in the middle of England, that this year happened at the beginning of July - there was a brilliant line up of talks, music, food and everything else you would expect from a festival (including rain..!). Because I'm a total geek I was particularly excited by the reusable cups, reusable wristbands and the compost loos!

I'm chatting to Will Cottrell, Chair and Co-Founder of Brighton Energy Co-operative, about all things Community Energy - what it is, how it works, and how we as individuals, households, and businesses can get involved.
