TREES: THE KEY TO CLIMATE PROOFING OUR CITIES- London, 10th July 2008.
A 10% increase in urban tree cover could neutralise rising city
temperatures, but large trees with irreplaceable climate-control benefits
are being lost at an alarming rate. This pioneering conference explores
practical possibilities to reverse tree loss within current planning
framework. It can be done: our objective is to define how to do it. FINAL

still has priority.
Has anybody come across a scheme or technology that gives light but is less
environmentally invasive but meets the safety demands of a public site.

Good morning,
Have you thought about contacting a lighting consultant? I discovered one
totally by accident. The consultant planned the project ensuring the desired
lighting effects were achieved (and excelled) while minimising its carbon
footprint where possible. The non tree related project was a difficult one
but turned out really good. The fee wasn't to bad either!
Hope this assists
Andy
