Dr Rebecca Schaaf, Subject Leader for Geography at Bath Spa University and organiser of the event said: “This event is a great opportunity for people in Bath and Bristol to find out how to make a difference by living a little more sustainably. During the day, the speakers and exhibitors will demonstrate what a more sustainable future can look like, and how we can all play our part to reach the future that we want.”
