THURSDAY 14TH FEBRUARY
GO GREEN DAY, UNIVERSITY DOME
 
We had a fun day at Buxton's very own University, joining all sorts of green groups for an event in the Dome. As well as the usual display and books, we took along the Carbonopoly game - that's the one where Buxton ends up fully greened, with solar panels, orchards, wind turbines and electric buses, and all the players have more money than they started with. We were joined briefly by a visitor from far away, Paula Bear, who was with the Greenpeace team campaigning to Save the Arctic. She was delighted to find she'd won a crossword competition.
 
Dan made a couple of videos of the event which you can find here and here.
