Whether you're talking water, energy or land, you can't ignore the fact that Londoners are consuming more of it. Yet, as residents of the capital city, how can we contribute to a more sustainable London? Come and hear more on this issue and share your own thoughts, experience and insights as part of the discussion at this months LINE meeting. As always, there will also be a chance to hear about past and upcoming environmental activities, including a national gathering later this month, for those interested in the growing UK Islamic environmental network.
