This week, Teignbridge District Council launched a new website – Teignbridge Climate Hub to inspire people to make changes and help Teignbridge achieve its Net Zero target.
The Teignbridge Climate Hub provides ideas, support and suggestions for residents and businesses to cut their cost of living, lead healthier lives, and play a vital part in reducing the district’s carbon footprint.
The website has lots of zero-cost and low-cost changes for residents and businesses to make. From simple actions such as getting a smart meter or turning the boiler thermostat down, to eating more seasonally and reducing food waste, it’s a place to see how we’re all making a difference, be inspired, share stories, and get involved.
For local businesses, the hub has lots of actions which can be easily undertaken to help reduce carbon emissions in the workplace and encourage employees to get involved.
Businesses can also take advantage of the council’s green business grants scheme which is currently open to help with costs of implementing some of the actions.
Grants are available to help buy and install equipment to reduce energy costs including LED lighting, low energy heat systems, heat pumps, solar panels and double/triple glazing of windows and doors.
Find out more and how to apply for a green business grant on the Teignbridge Climate Hub website. The closing date for applications is 12 August.
