The Northfield Ecocentre is helping members of the community reduce their carbon footprint with the Home Energy for Beginners Workshop.

Starting this Saturday (6th March) the centre are running weekly sessions to teach energy enthusiasts how to cut down on their usage in order to save money as well as helping them to preserve the environment.

The course will run for four weeks and spaces are limited so booking is essential.

Ecocentre Manager, Georgia Stokes, said:

“We will focus on teaching useful skills, such as taking meter readings and understanding bills, as well as offering general tips and advice on how to save money.

We will also look at bigger plans for the future, such as making use of solar panels and other such renewable sources of energ and at the end of the course people will go away with an energy folder full of fact-sheets, ideas and an action plan.”

The Nothfield Ecocentre strives to educate the community on all aspects of sustainable living and runs a number of different groups and events for all ages.
