Climate Change - Communities
Ordinary people acting together in formal or
informal groups can achieve great things. Groups of all sizes and
communities are taking meaningful action to help reduce global
emissions.
The following groups are currently working on schemes within our
district:-
- St. Margarets-at-Cliffe
The community has purchased home energy monitors to help reduce
energy use.
- Deal With It
Is a community group interested in minimising environmental impact
and tackling climate change on a local level. They are currently
working on a project with the Energy Saving Trust to encourage
residents to insulate their homes and reduce their energy
consumption.
- Hougham-Without Parish Council
Through holding climate change parishioner forums Hougham-Without
Parish Council realised that many people had no idea how much they
could save on their energy bills by taking simple actions. They
devised ‘The Hougham Plugged-In Chart’ to demonstrate the energy
many domestic appliances consume when they are on standby , and
even more significantly by just being plugged into the mains
without being switched on.
Energyshare is
looking to fund projects that aim to save or generate energy
locally, and will benefit the local community.
