Award-winning videos
In 2007, our project and DVD film (Our footprint, Our Journey) won the International Visual Communication Association (IVCA) Clarion award. We are a winner in the Climate Change Communications.
This is what the judges said 'An inspiring example of how a small village can strive to be carbon neutral and, by helping tackle a global issue, can bring the local community closer together. This unassuming and honest communications campaign has inspired other communities across the country and internationally; Ashton Hayes has become a symbol for positive action on climate change'.
Since then our film maker, Steven Holland, has produced two new short films that chronicle the project progress and the views if residents and other communities. The two films are:
Our footprint, Our journey - the next steps
Community responses to climate change (DVD only at present)
You can also view the film that Inigo Gilmor's made about us for Live Earth 2007 entitled The Village Greened by clicking here.
If you would like a high resolution DVD containing all three films plus our Going Carbon Neutral Toolkit, please contact us.
We have also been featured recently in a short video at the launch of a new climate change charity, Leapfrog, that has adopted our project and is providing pro-bono professional support.
We are also making a short video animation about our microgrid - view
