Garry Charnock hit on the idea for the Ashton Hayes Going Carbon Neutral Project while walking in the Shetlands in summer 2005. He was initially inspired by speakers at the 2005 Hay Literature Festival - Lord King and Lord Oxburgh, and decided to see if he could encourage his community to take action. Garry has lived in the village since 1982.
