Mapping of Bristol green groups
In an attempt to recognise all the amazing green activities and groups in Bristol, we tried to get all of them together in one document. We would appreciate your help in making it even more complete, so if your group or a group you know is not on there, let us know.

Future City – final reflections
We were very lucky to be joined by Emma Powell for a month of work experience, culminating in her helping us with the write up of the week of Future City conversations. We asked her to reflect on the final session where we looked back at the week. Her notes are below.
In the meantime, we wish Emma good luck for the future and in particular for her studies in Business and Environment at Leeds University which she starts this summer after she has spent some time volunteering with a charity in India (and spent some time at the beach in various places around the world). Enjoy.
