IMG_4613_emergency.jpg On Saturday 16th January 2010, after the floods and the big freeze in Ambleside, flooding meltwater got into the gas main pipes and shut down the system. Around 5000 users were affected as the whole of Amblesides gas was shut dopwn. The National Grid reacted with emergency respone units to deal with the situation. This left many vulnerable people without heating and cooking facilities at a very cold time of the year. This shot shows electric fan heaters and electric plate cookers being handed out to residents to help cope with the emergency.

366W3134_carbon neutral.jpg The village of Ashton Hayes in Cheshire is hoping to become the first carbon neutral village in the UK. they are doing this be saving energy offsetting emmissions by planting woodland and generating from renewable energy. Ashton Hayes is a great example of communities taking action independantly of any government initiatives as most governments around the world have failed miserably to react to the threat of climate change.

366W9286_managed retreat.jpg The Breach at Alkborough on the Humber Estuary in Eastern England. As sea levels rise around the world many areas of low lying land are at increasing risk of coastal flooding and are getting increasingly expensive to protect. In order to protect nearby urban areas coastal realignment or managed retreat is now being used to take the pressure off during increasinlgy common storm surges. At Alkborough a 20 metre wide breach has been created in the sea defences to allow sea water to flood into former agricultural land creating 150 hectares of wetland. As well as protecting nearby urban areas from flooding the site also provides valuable wetland habitat for wildlife. Alkborough is currently the largest coastal realignment projec tin Europe and has been quickly colonised by wildlife.
