Water is the Theme at Hatton Village Fair

Despite Hatton Village Fair’s traditional duck race being rained off this year (apparently rain isn’t as good for plastic ducks as it is for the real variety!) the Fantastic Home team was out in force offering advice on insulation, energy saving and, rather appropriately given the weather, hydro power.
 
Kris McGowan from Marches Energy Agency was on hand to offer advice on getting your home insulated through South Derbyshire District Council’s Warmstreets Scheme. Members of local community group Tutbury Eco Power promoted their community hydro scheme and spoke with people who are interested in their own hydro schemes.
 
Our giant board games – one about low carbon living and another about recycling – were popular with young and old alike.

 

We were able to distribute free energy saving items that will save 486,855 litres of water, more than 13,000kg of carbon and more than £11,000 over their lifetime’s use.
