The Bike Show: New Year’s Resolutions

FireworksThe closing of one year and start of another is the time where many of us resolve to turn over a new leaf, change our life or otherwise embark on a virtuous but most probably doomed attempt at self-improvement. London cyclist and underground bicycle advocate Amy Cooper joins Jack Thurston in the studio for a look at many and varied two wheeled new year’s resolutions. Also in this week’s show is a look at the Sustrans Connect2 ‘rails to trails’ project in South Bermondsey with Barry Mason of Southwark Cyclists.

The Low Carbon Show – The Climate Change Bill

David Milliband

The UK is writing carbon dioxide targets into law. But the draft Climate Change Bill is insufficiently strong to ensure the UK plays a fair role in avoiding dangerous climate change. We interviewed the then Environment Secretary, David Miliband, and put his responses to Dr Alice Bows (Tyndall Centre) and Martyn Williams (senior parliamentary campaigner, Friends of the Earth). – Why is the government using a target that is based on outdated science? – Is it right that the Bill would allow the government to meet 50% of its targets by buying up emissions credits from abroad? – Why aren’t emissions from aviation and shipping included in the Bill?
