Sustainable Energy

There's a lot going on in the Energy group. We are very fortunate to have the support of Clayton Elliot from Friends of the Earth, who recently completed an energy audit of the village to enable us to calculate our present carbon footprint. Contact us to find out more about:

• solar-heated water
• plans for a wind turbine at school
• the feasibility of a community energy supply
• how to get a grant to insulate your home.

We all know that wind turbines can be the cause of some controversy, especially in small communities. Members of the Energy group want to hear from objectors as well as supporters living in St Merryn, so that everyone's concerns can be properly addressed. Maybe you have an idea of your own that you would like to discuss. Please get in touch.
