‘Let’s Go Eco’ Interactive House

‘Let’s Go Eco’ is an interactive, animated house that’s based on the footprint and energy use of a typical three-bedroomed semi-detached house.

While you explore the house and garden, you can choose various energy efficiency improvements from insulation to low carbon heating technologies. Your money and carbon savings are added as you go along. You can also learn about easy ‘planet friendly’ lifestyle changes.

At the end, you can generate a summary report of your activity. They have developed supplementary mini-guides for further information.

Brailsford's Wildlife Hotel

Brailsford Parish Council are trying to rewild a small piece of land that had become neglected. They have started by building a Brailsford's Wildlife Hotel with decaying logs. The local birds are already enjoying it so there must be someone in residence!

They hope to let most of the grass grow longer and have also planted some wildflower seeds, wild snowdrops, and added a bird box and bee a hotel.
