Paul Allen

At the Highgate Eco Pop-up in the foyer of Lauderdale House there were posters and flyers on a full range of Eco themes – Electricity, Buildings & Heat, Biodiversity, Transport, Politics, Communities & Councils etc.

Click here for videos of the miniTED Talks and other details.

The event was sponsored by the Transition Networks Bounce Forward Programme with the National Lottery and by Transition Highgate. Highgate straddles both Camden and Haringey, so materials relevant to both areas was displayed.
