This week we are up at Lancaster University to film the wind turbine. We are producing a small documentary for the Green Gown Awards later this month. The University has been nominated for an award under the "Carbon Reduction" category. I can see the turbine from all of the windows in my house and I think it is very elegant. I do know however that wind energy does seem to divide opinion. Anyway, this film has got me going up to Hazlerigg on sunny days to film the turbine. I think that because it stands alone on the hill it has a very dramatic effect on the landscape - possibly more so than if there was a group of them. I like filming it - there is a real poetry in its motion. The film will show what I mean, I am sure.
Last year, we made a documentary about Lancaster University's Travel Plan. That was really interesting too - it shows what can be done when an organisation has the courage to implement policies which won't necessarily give an immediate return but which over years seems to have really paid off.
