A range of homes in different neighborhoods across Bristol will be showcased with no-cost to high-cost ways to reduce energy consumption. Find out more here: www.bristolgreendoors.org

Hello everyone

Well I have finished my project and also my degree. I just wanted to thank everyone who participated in the events and activities I organised as my project would not have been possible without you. Also thank you to everyone who has visited this blog as it is so nice to know people are interested in what I have been doing.

I will keep up with using this blog as much as I can with any local information or useful links.

Thank you all again

Emily

Now that my project is coming to an end I have produced a small magazine as a way to conclude my work with Brighton Road. It contains local and sustainable information as well as a summary of my project. If you would like a copy of my magazine please let me know with a comment or e-mail with your road and house number and I will drop one off in the next week. I will also be posting a PDF copy on the blog soon for everyone to view.

Waste

My final aspect of sustainability to explore is waste. Please take part in my poll below and pledge to start doing one of the options as part of a more sustainable lifestyle. You may already do some of them so why not challenge yourself to do one more! I will post the results up in a couple of weeks. Thank you

ENERGY GAME

emilynoon — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:15:43 +0000

If you have any feedback on your experience using the board (did any of the statistics surprise you, did you enjoy playing etc) please comment as this would be really useful to my project!

Today I put out this energy board game. I have made it to make people think about the energy used by our appliances in a fun and interactive way. The statistics that can be found under the flaps have come from things I own after I bought an energy monitor. All appliances vary in energy use but this is to get you thinking about how much you use some of these items. Could you cut down on how much you use any of these?

Save water with jam jars!

Today I put out some jam jars ready to be put in resident’s toilet cisterns:

The more jam jars that are taken the more water we can save as a road! For anyone who is not sure where to put your jam jar here’s a photo of where I put mine:

Make sure you flush the toilet just to check the jar isn’t obstructing the ball float, mine sits just out of the way. Be aware that more modern cisterns have dual flush capabilities so will not need a jam jar! I have been informed that it’s best to remove the lid of the jam jar when you put it in as it will rust.

If you take one of my jam jars or choose to use on of your own it would be great if you could take a picture of it like the one above and send it to me. (the e-mail can be found on the contact page)

CREATE Centre

emilynoon — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 20:28:46 +0000

On Saturday 24th April Bristol’s CREATE Centre is holding a free event – Bristol after the oil age – all about peak oil. Annoyingly I won’t be able to go but I would really recommend you take a look at what’s going on at:

www.bristol.gov.uk/ccm/content/Environment-Planning/sustainability/create-events.en

There will be workshops on things from how to grow in small places to how to hold a street party and plenty more to take a look at!
