\u201c[The unchecked burning of fossil fuels] would have a sort of greenhouse effect\u201d, and \u201cThe net result is the greenhouse becomes a sort of hot-house.\u201d Alexander Graham Bell, 1917<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zero Chippenham member: “Climate change is really the trigger that got me personally working towards sustainability, examining everything we do as a business. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) interim report landed in 2018 (3) and received wide scale publicity it was a real shock.
