Monday 16th March 2020: This month’s newsletter, in a complete reversal on the busy itinerary hghlighted in last month’s newsletter, itemises how the newly established lockdown has caused the cancellation or postponment of all events pending this crisis ending.
It remains to be seen what te long term ramifications will be after this world changing event – Although it’s little comfort to those suffering, there is a view that improved air quality due to reduced activity could possibly save more lives than COVID-19 claims, while others have suggested the virus will set back climate change efforts. Time will tell, but for now our thoughts are with all those affected, especially those self-isolating, or small businesses in vulnerable sectors.
There are also interesting stories about how the Carbon Charter community is taking steps to cope with this situation and a glimpse of the future of farming as less people are available to work on the land.
