SUMMARY:West London - People Planet Pint™: Sustainability Meetup
DESCRIPTION:A better future is possible today\, and it starts at your local pub! \nSeptember is the inaugural People Planet Pint™  in West London and at this event there will be £500 on the bar tab\, courtesy of Exceptional Marketing. \nDo you wish trains were cheaper\, there were more trees on your street\, and more solar panels over local car parks?\n \nAre you frustrated that with increasingly wild weather people are still paving over nature\, and you’re left feeling like the only one who cares in your friends WhatsApp group? \nYou’re not alone! You’ve just been in the wrong room. \nPeople Planet Pint is a local sustainability meetup – no pitches\, no presentations\, no panels. \nJust like-minded people talking about the planet over a pint (or two). \nYou don’t need to be a sustainability professional. You don’t need to know what “Scope 3” means (most people don’t!). \nIf you’re curious about what’s going on locally and feel that a better future is possible\, come along to meet others like you and chat about what’s going on locally\, how to get involved and what solutions are out there. \nCome for conversations with real people – it’s a space to swap ideas\, find opportunities\, get things off your chest or just sit back and listen. You’ll leave with practical ways to get involved and leave a lot more optimistic about the future!
