In February 2010, the CDT secured funds from the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund for our own project in Fauldhouse.
The 14-month project is looking to assist residents in reducing their fuel bills, offering training and workshop in various subjects from renewables to composting to food miles to transport, all intending to lower our community’s carbon footprint.
We now have an Environmental sub-group that is scoping out potential environmental projects that are of interest to the Community. The group has 8 members already, but there’s always room for more!
Our Project Officer, Danni Barrett, is trained in giving Energy Advice, and is keen to help residents save money on their bills and get some measures in place to sort out draughty houses. If you need some advice or want your home checked out to see where you could save money, call us.
She is also going to assist in making our Community Hub a demonstration building for renewables and energy saving devices, so residents can see how things work before investing in them for their own homes.
