Her fascinating talk shows how personal commitment and ingenuity break down barriers.Stephen Bygrave brings examples from around the world to show how the time is coming when petrol -fuelled cars, energy intensive buildings and coal fired power will be things of the past.PERFORMANCEPlayback Theatre Performers engage with the audience.People’s worries about workers left behind, politicians not being up to the task and survival are brought into the arena.The musicians and actors then mirror these thoughts  and turn them into little plays.
