Just a quick note to say that the Hackney Society have organised a debate on sustainability vs conservation.
It’s a tricky issue – how do we turn the thousands of beautiful, historic homes in Hackney into very low and zero carbon homes without spoiling them?

Sustainability vs Conservation
DEBATE on Thursday 20 May 2010
How are we going to make our historic buildings more environmentally friendly? Is a carbon neutral Victorian house possible? What should government be doing to help us improve our homes? Come and join the debate.
