Editor's Notes
- We needed a new office and wanted an eco-office. This led to BedZED eco-village in south London, a project which BioRegional initiated and were co-developers with Peabody. Architects Bill Dunster and Arup emgineers. BioRegional’s London office is here and many of the team live here.
- Residents report that they are happier and know more than 20 of their neighbours
- Our One Planet Living framework grew out of our experience in developing and using BedZED. People in wealthy nations like the UK are consuming too much of limited global resources, producing too much pollution, waste and climate-changing greenhouse gases. We’re living as if we had roughly three planet earths – but we only have one. Science tells us this, and we can use accounting systems like Ecological Footprinting to indicate the scale of our over-consumption. We’re working for a world in which people everywhere can live happy, healthy lives within their fair share of the earth’s resources, leaving sufficient space for wildlife and wilderness.
- 1. Understand impacts, measure footprint 2. Create & implement an Action Plan, a roadmap to achieve one planet living using the ten principles & common international targets and indicators. Participatory workshop approach. Tools and training 3. Implement and Report progress against targets annually. Timebound targets based on science and what is needed by people. Transparency.Ten principles give a good structure when reporting on progress and experiences. Here a business reporting on progress to zero carbon.
- We are working on projects and in partnerships on five continents, and we have representatives in the USA and Canada, Mexico, South Africa and Australia. In the UK we have offices in Bicester, Oxfordshire and Brighton & Hove as well as our head office in Sutton, south London.
- City plan aim: - identify what are the major issues in the city – with and for the people who live and work there - collaboratively devise steps to address those issues – with the local government - align the sustainability actions of some of the city's major organisations with those of the local authority (towards goals that everyone agrees on) The local government is on board with the plan in three out of four locations. In Durban, the plan will instead be citizen-led.
- We've successfully used our One Planet Living framework with our partners before on the scale of a small town or company – as you will learn in our case studies today. Now we want to take it to the next big test: cities and city-regions, where sustainability will be made or broken in the coming years during increasing urbanisation. This is a pilot project, so we’re looking to learn lessons from all of your experiences. Ben & Sue, please note, we refer to Elsinore municipality as it covers the city as well as some smaller villages around the city.

- Time Traveller Story: There once was a man who spent his days building a time traveling machine. His friends and community thought he was slightly crazy, for no one had ever succeeded in traveling through time before. To them, it was a waste of his energy and skills. Then, one day, when his friends came to visit him, he was gone and so was his machine. This led to much talk and speculation in his village: Where had he gone? To the future or to the past? Would he ever return? Traveling in time was an experiment that no one had ever done before; what if something went wrong? News spread fast and soon many other neighboring communities were also talking. Some time later, the man returned and everyone wanted to hear his news. Excitedly, people gathered in a great hall to hear him tell his tales. He told them that he had visited the future, and it was beautiful. There, people lived in harmony with one another and with the earth. The rivers were clean and full of fish, the forests were healthy, the animals diverse, and there was a great abundance of healthy foods. Humans had learned from nature how to cooperate and to not take more than Earth could provide.The traveller went on to describe every aspect of society--in great detail and with such care that his audience was captivated by the incredible visions painted in their minds. Inspired by his story, people shared his experience and soon they began working towards this future. The man never travelled again, and, as he grew older, he observed great changes happening all around him. It wasn’t until his last breath that he spoke his truth to his best friend: he had never travelled to the future. But story is not the only powerful tool we have to build a collective vision for a sustainable future. What we practice we get good at. What stories do we hear and do we tell everyday?
- Bike tours. Schools doing a lot. Missing is school vision. Missing connections between sustainability projects, curriculum and events. 1. Simplicity – not trying to define sustainability or arguing about better words to use i.e. regenerative 2. Building common language help build a common future – Not only actions in school, see it in companies and communities around them as they grow up. 3. Interconnected. Feel alone and like you alone can’t be making that much difference. “Information in isolation is a waste” - Einstein
- Link to Gagle Brook Pop Up and the values that will start our journey together.
- Hope that you will help each other keep going with the project. Encourage you to stay in touch with each other and with the wider One Planet Living community around the world. Check with Jette/ Christian on plans to set up own social media group(s) We encourage you to meet up with each other now and then – whether all together, or as topic-specific subgroups, or even one-on-one. Make it fun and social. It really helps to share ideas, progress, frustrations and information. Project webinars: designed to support you and help with peer-to-peer learning. Invites will be sent out shortly.
