In the fourth of our 'elements' series, we dive into some surprising water facts.  Why do plants wilt? How do green roofs prevent flooding? And why do handpumps in sub-Saharan Africa so often go unused? We also investigate some of the newest technologies destined for off shore installation, and share some easy ways to cut water waste at home.  Ready, Set. . . Jump!

Catch the Sun. Every year, more solar energy falls on the earth's surface than has ever or will ever br obtained from all the world's fossil fuels. If we can harness just a fraction of this energy, we can find our way past peak oil, and towards preventing runaway climate change.

Solar thermal water heating, photovoltaic panels, sunspaces, conservatories, solar-powered fridges... There are so many ways to catch and use the immense power of the sun. 

Out of thin air… In the second in our ‘elements’ series, we look to the skies, exploring the air around us as a source of energy.

We investigate technologies new and old, find out more about community power, and blast away some enduring myths about wind farms. We also explore natural ventilation, air source heat pumps and wind-powered transport.

As we enter the United Nations International Year of Forests 2011, celebrating ‘forests for people’, we look at all the things a tree can be. Planting orchards, measuring carbon stores, protecting woodlands, building with sustainable timber, sourcing furniture, and burning logs and pellets: we cover every stage in a tree’s life journey, from seed to cinder.

Which way to a zero carbon world? To tackle climate change in a sustainable, equitable way, we need action at an international level. zerocarbonbritain2030 research leader, Martin Kemp, gives us an overview of the options.

It took ten years, 5.2 million pounds, 320 tonnes of earth, 785 cubic metres of hemp and lime, 14km of spruce wood, 70 square metres of solar water heating, two successful court cases, and the overwhelming generosity and support of thousands of members. Now, at last, CAT is very proud to announce the opening of…The Wales Institute for Sustainable Education (WISE)

How can land be used in ways that actively reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, whilst ensuring a secure, sustainable and healthy food supply?  Drawing on CAT’s zerocarbonbritain2030: a new energy strategy we explore some of the issues and options in the land-use debate.
