Looks great Lorraine... why not post the videos on this site too?

I joined brentgoinggreen in May, and so far I am the only participant to submit videos which can be seen on youtube. I think "your washing machine can make you green" is the funniest. This is a really easy way to get important messages across about saving energy, I can't understand why more people don't make them.

Hi Barbara

Thanks for this info. I have replied to sign up.

By the way. I am intrigued that since my comment to this group in October last year, in which I included our household emissions data, no other group member has replied with their data. David and George replied with very useful thoughts but not their actual household usage data. T

WANT TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR ENERGY BILLS ?

TAKE THE BRENT GOING GREEN CHALLENGE !

Dear all,

As a new member, I would like to contribute by letting you know this great initiative of the Brent Council.
Participants will receive a free energy monitoring device to monitor their consumption, become aware of their expenses, and reduce them.

The three challengers who save the most energy will receive prizes at the Brent Going Green Awards ceremony in November.

Good for you, good for the planet !

Draught-busting workshop was very good - simple and practical. Thanks to all for organising it and helping buy DIY material and save money.

Can we of the B&E group meet up so we can get to Know each other and start looking at ideas face to face? What do others think?
Comment by Matthew Sharp on October 11, 2009 at 19:37
No, unfortunately I've something else on. Perhaps you or someone would ask him to contact me, or get his contact details so I can phone or email him for a chat about it?

Matthew - are you coming to our film night at the Lexi on Wednesday? I think that Alexis from Transition Belsize is planning to come and he has just come back from Germany where he has been researching PassivHaus...
Comment by Matthew Sharp on October 11, 2009 at 17:17
I live in a Victorian terraced house and intend to make some major changes to the building to make it more suitable for our family needs and to cut the carbon footprint of the building by hopefully incorporating as many PassivHaus features as possible. I'd be interested in anyone with practical experience of this, or a professional interest, and also if anyone knows how good Brent Council Planning Dept are on green issues etc.
