The “3 Rs” of using less are Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – in that order.
We can also try to change the way we do things to live more efficiently, but modern society is complex and it can be hard to know what is the best thing to do.
Here are some ideas of things we can do locally to use less stuff and to try to understand what are the most effective things to change.
Current Projects
A Green Open Homes event is an opportunity to ask a neighbour about an energy saving improvement and see if it might work for you.
In November 2024, SusWoT held a fair for local residents interested in having a warmer home, lower energy bills and in feeling good about being greener.
Past Projects
SusWoT linked up with a local organisation called CHEESE who make videos showing heat loss in your home.
Some SusWoT members have been investigating the process of replacing your Gas Central Heating System with an Air Source Heat Pump.
