I’m Michael, born in Highgate’s steep streets and ancient oaks. This blog tracks my push for cleaner air and a lighter footprint. Expect field notes from Waterlow Park beehives, reviews of air-source heat pumps fitted on North Hill terraces and chats with Highgate School parents about plastic-free lunches.
Posts weigh the carbon payback of rooftop solar, map safe cycling routes to Kentish Town and celebrate stalls at the Highgate Farmers’ Market that cut food miles. I share data on Haringey’s carbon-neutral plan and Camden’s Green Action.
Case studies include retrofitted Victorian semis, heat-sharing networks on the Holly Lodge estate and peer-to-peer energy trading trials by Power Up North London. Community voices matter here, so comments stay open.
Comment below for new essays, repair café dates and tree-planting sessions. Together we can keep Highgate leafy, liveable and a model for urban net-zero living.
