ENERGY
Using the sun and the wind and water to provide our power impacts far less on our climate than fossil fuels.
Heating our homes is the largest source of domestic energy use. The 2 things you can do today to help reduce your impact is:
1. Use energy more efficiently
2. Change your energy provider to a renewable energy one.
All the energy we use changes our climate.
In 2024 we funded a report on the options for Community Energy in Angus which takes a detailed look at community street lighting, retrofitting buildings and community energy generation.
