Visitors from Mono Lake, California, arrive in Ashton Hayes

The Going Carbon Neutral team were delighted to welcome Duncan and Ellen King from from Mono Lake in California, USA. The couple are members of the local Mono Lake Climate Action Group that aims to educate people about climate issues and hopes to inspire progress toward a sustainable future that protects the climate of their alpine environment, snow dependent economy and the quality of life for humans and wildlife in the Eastern Sierra. It was great to share ideas.
