Off to an excellent Start

As you can see from the list below, we have an excellent group of organisations who have agreed to take part in this exciting project for Ipswich.

 

Under the archive section you will notice there have been several press articles from the QT on each of these affiliates.

 

There are a variety of local businesses that have made a commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and on this site we will be highlighting these businesses and some special projects that will involve 1000’s of people in Ipswich.

Something to think about...

. . . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.
