RENEWABLE ENERGY EXHIBITION AND CONSULTATION AT THE ROSELAND COMMUNITY SCHOOL WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9TH 3P.M. TO 6P.M. ALL WELCOME REFRESHMENTS AVAILABLE

Are you prepared to wait until President Bush starts to combat global warming? No? Do you think that Cornwall could, again, lead the world in the use of new technologies? Yes? Would you like to see 10.48tonnes of carbon dioxide removed from the air each year? Yes? Then this may interest you.

The Roseland Community School has the chance to apply for two grants that will cover the cost of installing a twelve metre (about the height of a telegraph pole), graceful wind turbine in its upper sports field. As well as saving the school an estimated £2,000 a year, it will stop 10.48 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum! It is also hoped that it will inspire us and our children to see renewable energy as effective, normal, acceptable and desirable. During the week November 7th - 11th the school will be raising awareness about global warming, global dimming and the subsequent climate changes. The exhibition on November 11th will include information displays brought to us by The Cornwall Sustainable Energy Partnership (C.S.E.P.) and will also have diagrams, photographs and information about the ISKRA, 12m. wind turbine that we would like to erect. If you support or object to this, or are just interested in the subject, please call in for as long as you like. A DVD, made by some year 8 students last summer, will be shown and other visual and audio responses to the subject of climate change can be seen. If you are concerned at the apathy about combating the perils of global warming and dimming, if you are concerned about the ice sheets melting, and the expanding, warming water causing sea levels to rise, if you are worried by the increasing number of flash floods and early abnormal appearance of hurricanes, or the melting of the perma-frost in Alaska, or the snow off Kilimanjaro, if you worry that that the monsoon patterns are being disrupted � as happened in 1984 in Ethiopia, then you may want to support the Roseland School�s one small but hopeful step in trying to change things for the better. Where we go, we hope others will follow. Thousands have died to give us the good present we have; what can we do to ensure the happy future of our children and grandchildren? Come and find out.
