  Therese Richardson And Leigh Ann Ward: Sustainable Living

  In this Community Chest segment, Dominik speaks with Therese Richardson and Leigh Ann Ward regarding sustainable living. They discuss the Sustainable Living Festival, scheduled for May 22nd to June 3rd of next year at the Forum, noting that 10,000 pounds is ring-fenced for community groups. The conversation covers the Q East Beacon project at the UEA and the Sustainable Living Partnership Fund, which offers 50k over four years for university-community engagement. Therese Richardson describes sustainability as thinking about the future and the impact of one's actions.

Dominik selects 'Dance to the Music' by Sly and the Family Stone to brighten the overcast weather.
