    Brentwood Climate Action is screening the Power Station film.

    NB To be shown in Gail’s Bakery 69 High Street Brentwood CM14 4RW

    About the film

    Two artists set out to kickstart a people powered energy revolution.

    Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and raising finance by sleeping on the roof and launching a bid for a Christmas number one. Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of a neighbourhood and testament to the art of the possible.

    This screening is a fundraiser so there will be a small charge to cover the costs of hiring the film.

  • Letter Writing Wednesday 5 & Thursday 6 August

    It is envisaged that a letter-writing gathering, occasionally, would be an effective way to protest/applaud on a very accessible level. Anyone can suggest a cause for others to support. As a social gathering too, it is hard to beat.

    This has been brought about by the many fascinating talks we have had each month over the last year, with speakers encouraging us to support their causes, both local and nationwide. This is the best way we can think of helping them. Hopefully, by the end of the session we will have a list for anyone to pursue in their own time. We will include these on our website with possible templates.

    Get your list going and meet us at one, or both, of the following sessions:

    • Wednesday 5th August at 12 noon, Brentwood Library
    • Thursday 6th August 6pm, The Climate Café, 7 Crown Street
  • Climate Café Saturday 25 July 2026

    10:30am – 13:30pm at 7 Crown St, Brentwood CM14 4BA

    Philip Holland presented a talk: 

    ‘Is humanity drinking in the ‘Last Chance Lagoon?’

    Philip told us that while water is the foundation of all life on Earth, availability is finite with less than 1% of freshwater easily accessible in lakes, rivers and shallow aquifers. People have proved to be inefficient water users and have over-exploited long-term stores. There is a wealth of very concerning evidence about water bankruptcy but there are also initiatives being employed to protect this precious resource and we were shown how some nations are undertaking these measures and also the changes we can and must make at home to reduce our water usage and so contribute to increasing biodiversity and climate resilience.
