What’s it all about?
The purpose of the Eco Hub is to provide an ongoing presence in town to engage people on issues related to climate change… a place to have your say/find information/exchange ideas/learn what is happening/volunteer…
It will start with a trial of six months.
The initiative aims to operate on the second Saturday of the month in the Tourist Information Centre and the fourth Saturday in the library.
Each month, there will be a new theme to focus on:
retrofitting: making your home energy efficient
reduce/reuse/recycle
calculating your carbon footprint
active travel: walking and cycling
local food/food waste
plastic
biodiversity
Plus there will be films showing at the Radway Cinema!
