By Don MacphersonOn Saturday morning, students and parents contributed to a lively debate on 'Greening Bedales'. Organized by Martin Box, Mark Taylor and the rest of the Green Bedales Committee, a series of distinguished speakers gave fascinating talks on issues from global warming to green architecture, with issues from political engagement to domestic composting.
As a result parents, students and staff emerged with a whole range of insights, from scientific theories to practical measures. As a first step, the school is intending to become carbon neutral, and re-imagine its founding role in leading debate around environmental concerns.
This conference was a welcome stimulus to the debate, and questions continued long after the end of sessions. Congratulations to Martin, Mark and the many organizers and speakers, for a terrific start to the year.

Can you give me an indication as to the reduction in fees that we can expect as a result of any carbon neutral initiatives?
HI Malcolm
Carbon neutral, I believe, is an ambition which will take a number of years but would hopefully counteract rises in energy prices. I think.
