To support each other in all our efforts to make a small difference - and to be contagious in the community - by showing just how fulfilling a 'low carb' life can be - and how good it tastes!! To generate real local demand, discounts, consortia, bulk buying, carbon cool fashion...   a whole new Marlow brand of eco chic!

(See 4ecotips mission at http://www.4ecotips.com/eco/mission.php)   Dermot Fitzpatrick, who runs Time OUT Retreats http://www.timeoutretreats.co.uk  ...offering us "space to be ourselves"   Dave Hampton, (me) campaigner consultant 'the cabon coach' http://www.carboncoach.com/ .. helping you live a more carbon conscious life for less      Despite the 'dot com' web domain... (the com in Mar-low carbon dot COM was intended to resonanate with COMMUNITY) ... http://www.marlowcarbon.com  is a non-commercial venture, the purpose of which is to help all the people of Marlow to prosper by innovating together and co-creating a better safer more resilient world, starting here at home, and in Marlow.     Blazing a bright and breezy trail of chic, local, carbon-free possibility together as it says on the tin..   Look forward to seeing you post something up on the site - tips, events, sales, wants, inspirations, news, offers, requests... over to YOU   Dave Previous Thread | Next Thread Reply   Bookmarks    Digg  del.icio.us  StumbleUpon  Google
