From Lambda-K to Loofahs and Long-Hauls - Making Sustainability Land with Real People

03 Mar 2026
Innovation Hub (Ground Floor)
Cities, Communities & Nature

Grab your sandwich or salad and join Clare for a lunchtime Innovation Hub session that swaps slides for stories and acronyms for something more human.

Opening with a sharp, relatable piece on modern contradictions - Did Stone Age Man Go to the Gym? - Clare then moves through a curated selection of poems that reflect key Reset Connect themes: retrofit and the built environment, carbon footprints and accounting, transport choices, behaviour change, and the gap between ambition and delivery. The session blends humour with lived experience, exploring different ways of making  good sustainability ideas stick. 

The aim is simple: an engaged room, a few well-earned laughs, and some fresh perspective before the afternoon sessions begin.
