A SUSTAINABLE artwork is touring Scotland’s cities to shine a light on projects across Scotland that are bringing people together to create change ahead of COP26.
Created by the Scottish Government, the circular piece represents Scotland’s goal of reaching net zero by 2045. It landed at its first stop at Edinburgh Castle last night and shone a light on local community groups including Edinburgh Tool Library and Shrub Co-op, both working towards reducing waste and emissions, and were joined by Scottish environmental scientist Laura Young.
The zero will tour Scotland’s seven cities this week to highlight the positive work being carried out. Image shows (from left) Rosanna Rabaeijs from Shrub Coop, Elaine Brown from Edinburgh Remakery, Cecile Levavasseur from Edinburgh Tool Library, Laura Young and Cathy Miller from Shrub Co-op.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
