Meet Polly and Dr Who's Tardis

Polly Higgins, who lives in Islington, just can't resist taking over Dr Who's Tardis for a show and tell adventure about climate change that will have you fired up for Highbury's CLIMATE CHANGE & ME conference on Saturday 11 October. Tickets for the event are free, just turn up at 11am at Highbury Fields School, Highbury Hill. Polly will be speaking at approx 11am (please arrive in good time).

In 2005 Polly gave up life as a practising barrister, fighting other people's fights in court, to go off and fight for what she believed in - the environment. She now advises on international environmental and energy legislation, works with TREC and is a regular public speaker. Recent engagements include speaking on climate change at a rave, briefing MPs on a clever renewable energy (Concentrating Solar Power also known as CSP) and speaking at the Climate Camp which was set up near the site of E-ON's controversial proposed new coal-powered dinosaur plant at Kingsnorth, Kent this August.

Polly runs Wise Women (Women in Sustainability and the Environment) network, founded the online eco-store called The Lazy Environmentalist, and blogs on her journey to discover what we need to do to save the planet. You can read about her progress here .
