Laura Young, aka #LessWasteLaura is on a personal journey to try and live an environmentally conscious lifestyle and advocate for environmental education and climate justice.

One of the major causes of climate change is how we create and consume energy. We already know that bold steps are needed to address the climate crisis, but the recent IPCC report makes it clear that human behaviour is driving unprecedented changes to our planet’s atmosphere.

In order to reach net-zero within the timescales needed that the need to move from fossil fuel solution to renewables is absolutely critical.

Join #LessWasteLaura on a journey to discover more about the future of energy, why COP26 is so important to our planet and the importance of onshore wind in the energy transition and the net zero debate.

Travelling just 16 miles from the middle of Glasgow, the city that is about to host the most important climate conference the world has ever seen in COP26, stands Whitelee, the UK’s largest onshore windfarm.

The windfarm is big, it actually spans 3 council areas and currently has 8 different landowners.  It produces enough electricity to power 350,000 homes, practically every home in Glasgow and now plays a vital role in the UK’s wind generation.

Catch up with Laura as she visits some very interesting places on her journey and meets the inspirational SPR experts to help you understand more about Whitelee, it’s people and how Whitelee transformed from a pretty desolate moorland area to a 21^st Century energy park.
