I was at the Harpur Suite earlier to open the Council's 10:10:10 climate change event which took place today. 10:10:10 is a 'global day of doing' this Sunday and is being supported by the 10:10 initiative, to which the Council signed up and committed itself to cutting its carbon emissions by 10% by April 2011. The event saw teams from the Council and a range of other bodies offering support and advice around actions people can take this Sunday and also in their day-to-day lives to help protect the environment, while also cutting their own energy bills.
Today is the 80th anniversary of the R101 airship disaster. The R101 was built at Cardington, of course, and set off from there on its first, and tragically final, overseas voyage on October 4th 1930. It was an honour to attend a service of remembrance at Cardington Church on Sunday, and to sit amongst men and women who recall the working airship sheds as we collectively remembered all those who lost their lives in the disaster.
