‘Underground, overground Wombling free,
The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we.
Making good use of the things that we find,
The things that the everyday folks leave behind.’

This ditty from the opening credits of the popular BBC series The Wombles has lessons for us all.  In terms of philosophy Decartes it is not but as a lesson for life it has a lot of value.  The World and London in particular needs to embrace recycling, energy saving, and area regeneration.  To give you an idea, every 8 days we produce so much rubbish that we could fill Canary Wharf Tower.  This cannot continue and we need to find new solutions.

Turning London ‘green’ is the theme of a new exhibition opening on the 8th September to inspire and educate Londoners about doing more for the planet and the environment we live in.  Entitled Footprints of a Generation, Future London are bringing this exhibition to The Old Trueman Brewery and later to the Science Museum.  There you can investigate what action is being taken to make a brighter future for London.

You can find out how London is working with large cities across the world to cut carbon emissions, and how the Mayor of London has set in place plans to designate a Low Emission Zone in the city.  By protection and enhancement of our abundant parks and open spaces, and the conservation of rare habitats and wildlife, London can and should become one of the greenest cities in the world.

Answer English plans to visit Future London when it arrives at The Science Museum on the 29th September.  If you would like to come along with us and learn about what you can do to making London a greener place to live: Contact Us.  For more information on this FREE exhibition visit the Future London website.
