SUMMARY:People's Emergency Briefing - WLCAN screening
DESCRIPTION:WLCAN is hosting a special screening of People’s Emergency Briefing\, a documentary film aimed at increasing public awareness of climate change\, and highlighting the need for urgent action.  \nOur screening will take place on Monday 28 September\, at 2pm until 4pm\, at Buchan Park Bowling Club\, 60 Greendykes Road\, Broxburn\, EH52 5BS.  \nWe’re hosting the screening primarily for our group and individual members\, so that we can come together as a group and watch the briefing\, before having a discussion around hosting a screening in your local community. However members of the public who live or work in West Lothian are very welcome to join the screening. We need to know if you plan on coming\, so please RSVP to Wendy on the email below.  \nSeeing it for yourself will give you a chance to understand the documentary\, and then hear about what’s involved in hosting a screening. You’ll also hear about the support available to you\, and hear from other members about the conversations it could open up.  \nTo help make screenings in your local community happen\, WLCAN has a limited number of £100 grants available to member groups to support the costs of hosting a People’s Emergency Briefing screening. You’ll hear more about this at the screening. \nWe hope that you can join us – Buchan Park Bowling Club has ample free parking\, and is served by local buses. Use Traveline Scotland to help you plan your journey. Refreshments will also be available. \nPlease RSVP – email wendy@wlcan.scot if you would like to attend.

SUMMARY:Data centres info session
DESCRIPTION:Across Scotland\, a sudden surge in data centre proposals has left communities with many questions. This information session is designed to unpack the global and national trends behind data centres: what they are\, why Scotland’s central belt is being targeted\, and how they operate. It will look at the global data boom and introduce the concept of “waste heat reuse” – specifically\, how modern data centres can be integrated to benefit local communities (such as heating local swimming pools or public buildings). \nUsing the nearby proposed Apatura Freeport AI Energy Campus at West Calder as a real-world case study\, we will look at the balance between economic opportunities (such as local investment\, high-paying jobs\, and community heat-export networks) and environmental concerns (including power grid strain\, water use\, and backup generator noise). With speakers giving different perspectives.  \nThis session is designed to be neutral and educational; our goal is to empower local residents with the factual knowledge and planning timelines they need to form their own opinions and engage directly with the decision-making process. \nOpen invite\, but email jocelyn@wlcan.scot if more information needed. ** Please note ** the venue postcode in Google maps sometimes defaults to show Stoneyburn – the event is at Loganlea Miners Welfare\, 37 Main Street\, Addiewell.
