This year's British Science Festival is focused around Guildford.
There are events from the 5th to 10th September including a large number of interest to visitors to this blog. For the full list click here.
Here are some excerpts:
If you're doing some refurbishment on a property there are a variety of
government grants available, from loft insulation to renewable energy, to households who qualify. There are also a variety of FREE products on offer, such as low energy lightbulbs.
Further to my piece on the Eaga ShowerSmart, a FREE water saving device for showers, you can now order one direct from the ShowerSmart website, rather than via TESCO Greener Living.
If you have a non-electric mixer shower or bath/shower mixer tap, you might well be able to fit an eaga ShowerSmart.
This small device (approximately 5cm high by 2cm diameter) regulates the flow of a shower to no more than 7.8 litres per minute, this can save both water and the associated energy of heating it. It only requires simple installation (no plumber required) is WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Service) certified and has a 15 year manufacturer's guarantee.
To date more than 300,000 have been sent to homes in Great Britain, which equates to a massive 300,000 tonnes of CO2, and the good news is that you may be able to get one FREE!
Why not combine it with a ShowerBoB from Sutton & East Surrey Water or a red Eco Showerdrop from npower, both free subject to availability.
