A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY CHAMPION PARTNER

A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR SMART LIVING SPONSORS

BIG GREEN WEEK & BUSINESS GREEN WEEK SUPPORTERS

BIG GREEN WEEK IS CREATED BY

Bristol’s annual festival of sustainability is back!

every year, Big Green Week celebrates Bristol’s social and environmental projects and the people who make them possible. In doing so, we help to build momentum towards a greener, better Bristol. We’ve a stellar lineup of events to inspire, involve, empower and educate, and we hope that you will join us.

Our theme for 2016 is ‘smart living’, those small everyday decisions which make a positive impact, collectively adding up to make a big difference. Part of this is championing businesses that we think are doing their bit and in the process we’re making green easy. Read more about smart living on page 9 from BBC Radio 4’s Costing the Earth Producer Martin Poyntz-Roberts.

From pop-ups to exhibitions to workshops, there really is something for everyone. Expect talks by Kevin McCloud and Nicaraguan Ambassador HE Senora Guisell Morales, a fermentation master-class with The Ethicurean, a Hope &

Harris supper club with Farms Not Factories, and the second annual Bristol Grand Prix on Park Street.

Bristol is an amazing city to live and work in, but we all know there are serious issues to tackle. Following its year as European Green Capital, we have a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of creating a better legacy for future generations. Whilst Big Green Week celebrates the city, a big part of the festival is provoking thought and discussion about how it could be better.

See you there!

SMARTWith the help of our sponsors, Love the Future (Big green Week’s parent company) led a group of cyclists to Paris in november 2015, to fly the flag for Bristol at the 21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (CoP21). Big Green Week is all about having fun; celebrating the good stuff that Bristol’s green scene has to offer. It is all for a very serious purpose, however, one that is becoming ever more urgent.

This March, the average temperature smashed through a 100-year global record. February was also above the long term average, and 2015 was the hottest year, but if temperatures continue then 2016 is going to surpass it. Of course, short-term data has to be looked at in the context of long-term trends, but many scientists now agree that their research may haveunderestimated the combined effect of human impacts on global temperature.

Thankfully, 2015 was also the year that global leaders finally seemed to recognise the clear and present danger, coming together in Paris to agree a process for limiting man-made climate change to less

than two degrees. They have their work cut out, as March’s temperature was 1.07 degrees higher, and the pace of change is accelerating rather than getting slower.

Closer to home, and as a direct result of the Paris climate talks, Bristol renewed its commitment as the UK’s leading green city by extending its carbon target from an 80% reduction to become a zero carbon city by 2050.

It is a huge challenge, but one that Bristol is well on the way towards achieving, having already reduced its carbon footprint by over 15% in recent years. There is much more to do and we can all do our part. Our response to COP21 is to establish our smart living scheme to help make the right choices; choices that will come back to hug you.

Over the next few pages you will find top tips, three for each of our nine themes, from an easy change that costs virtually nothing through to more significant changes that might need some investment of time and money. If you would like to know more, then check out our website at www.lovethefuture.co.uk/themes

A multimillion-pound experiment is underway in Bristol to create a ‘smart city’, and so to find out more I spoke to Paul Wilson. He’s Managing Director of Bristol is open, a joint venture between the University of Bristol and Bristol City Council. ‘Cities are where the economy happens, where people live, they are centres of culture, but they are also where pollution is created. We tend to identify strongly with the city in which we live, sometimes more than the nation,’ Paul told me. ‘As a result, we can manage problems more easily at city level.’ Around a million people live and work in and around Bristol. By 2050 its predicted that 70% of the world’s population will be living in cities. But as cities continue to grow so will their problems: congestion, pollution and overcrowding. A ‘smart city’ aims to reduce these problems. According to Paul, the key is to take a technological approach. Bristol is open is all about creating a programmable city. Large amounts of data can be collected. Once visualised, that data can be used to programme technology to improve the way the city’s infrastructure functions.

Perhaps the number one complaint of Bristolians is congestion. I asked Paul how monitoring of data can fix this. ‘Of the 50,000 car journeys in Bristol each day, 85% are single-occupancy cars. With more connectivity we can streamline connected vehicles to ease the flow of traffic,’ he said. ‘It’s not that cars are bad; the idea that I have to own my own car is beginning to lose sway. Using a car pool is becoming more common, as is the idea that I might use electric vehicles or electric bikes.’ The concept of giving up vast swathes of personal data may sound scary, but many of us already do. ‘If giving up data on your journey helped to reduce congestion, would that be upsetting? I think everyone wants to sort out congestion.’ With reduced congestion, a smart city could also be a greener city. I asked Paul what the aim of the Bristol is open project is over the coming decades. His answer was simple: ‘I think the goal is to make a liveable city, a sustainable city, a resilient city and a happy place.’

SMARTBristol: a smart, liveable city for the future?

a ‘smart city’ is a functioning, resilient, sustainable city for the future. it’s a city that gathers data and uses technology to improve the lives of those living there. sounds like a nice dream? it could be closer than you think, says Martin Poyntz-Roberts.

Could You Help transform Your Community?

there’s one thing that every Big green Week event has in common, year on year. Whether you’re watching a magical theatrical performance on the harbourside, or a lively debate at Hamilton House, there’s always a team of friendly volunteers, full of energy, who make the festival run like clockwork with a smile on their faces. From being part of Big green Week in previous years, Marks & spencer has always loved the buzz of the festival and the people who make it great. that’s why we’re so excited to be able to bring our nationwide programme, spark something good, to events and projects all throughout Big green Week. the initiative, which we started back in July 2015 in partnership with neighbourly, celebrates communities all over the uK and the republic of ireland. it’s our way of doing something good in the communities that we live and work in, and bringing groups, individuals and organisations together to spark something good. With the introduction of Big green Week’s smart living themes this year, it’s great to see how we can all get involved in the festival in lots of different ways. We love that one of these themes is community spirit, as this is exactly what spark something good champions, and we’re pleased to be

able to enable Bristolians to engage more with community spirit across the city through spark something good. our volunteers transform the community projects and events they work on, and we can’t wait to bring this initiative to Bristol to contribute to the diverse, exciting and thought-provoking events that are in this year’s programme. We’ll be working with 24 community projects and events to make sure this festival is the best yet. so this year, why not join in and spark something good? to find out how you can get involved visitwww.neighbourly.com/mandsvolunteer We look forward to seeing you!

a dance floor with 50’s music, giving our guests the pleasure of listening and dancing and the chance to reminisce.

growing support need your green fingers

The Redcliffe Gardening Club began in 2015 to help local people to make positive changes to their environment. The aim is for members to spend more time outdoors gardening together with other local people. We’ll be transforming a neglected area on the estate into a nature garden for residents to enjoy. Help the Conservation volunteers change a local landscape

The day will be spent constructing a boardwalk and path in the Purdown area – you’ll be helping to open up the area and create a pathway to enable easier access for everyone to enjoy this beautiful area.

While there are the often cited ways to reduce your impact - turn the tap off while you’re brushing your teeth, unplug appliances if you’re not using them, recycle – sometimes we need to shake up our perceptions of what is wasteful, and how our behaviour can change.

That’s what we do at Natracare – we question the way things are done, and pose alternatives to the way things always have been. Take plastic waste, for example. Most of us wouldn’t dream of using or throwing away plastic unnecessarily – especially with the 5p plastic bag tax. But traditional feminine hygiene products being made of 90% polyethylene (plastic!) means we do just that - with the average woman using 17,000 pads in her life-time, this adds up to the equivalent of 4,857 plastic carrier bags per woman.

With Natracare you are saying no to plastic and yes to pads and panty liners that are made from only sustainably sourced, organic and natural plant derived materials that are totally plastic-free, fragrance free and chlorine free. When using Natracare pads and panty liners women can rest assured that the only thing touching their skin is certified organic 100% cotton.

It’s a similar story with tampons – most commonly known brands of tampons are made using synthetic fibers that have been subject

to chlorine bleaching, a process which exposes women and the environment to toxic dioxin, and heavy metal residuals from the dyes used to colour the withdrawal cord. That’s why we create 100% natural and ethical feminine hygiene products, that look after the environment as well as the women who use them.

It’s easy to not even think about the hidden waste in our everyday lives, but luckily events like Big Green Week open up these conversations and reveal the information needed to make informed decisions that are better for the environment, and better for us.

Making the switch to environmentally friendly products is just one of the thousands of ways you can help reduce your impact.Could Big Green Week be the perfect excusefor you to makethe change?
