Doing something locally about climate change
On Tuesday, February 9th, two local organisations - TANN, the Avenues Neighbourhood Network, and Transition Towns Liverpool South are planning to run a day workshop on what can be done with older houses to reduce carbon emissions and promote the growth of locally produced renewable energy. It will be led by a trainer from the Energy Saving Trust, and will hopefully lead to some local initiatives to reduce our impact on the planet’s climate.
It will be held at St Agnes’s church hall at 1, Buckingham Avenue, L17 3BA (at the junction with Ullet Road), from 9.30am to 4.30pm. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
If you’d like to attend, please contact either Dinah Dossor on 733-8282 email dinah.dossor@talktalk.net or John Garrett on 733-9949 email john.garrett@blueyonder.co.uk.
