Volunteers will be on hand to give out information on how to reduce energy bills, encouraging active travel, reducing carbon footprints, using sustainable products, answering questions and offering advice.The Information Centre will also have a recycling game for everyone to have a go at, with displays and information on how to recycle more. Other local sustainable organisations such as JPS Energy, Communigrow and Zero Waste on Wheels will be demonstrating their goods and services for free with others giving talks to help give people more confidence in making greener choices.
