Households across Alness will be receiving something important in the post this week. Alness Transition Town Group is working with the Energy Saving Scotland advice centre for the Highlands and Islands to send out a Home Energy Check form. The Energy Saving Trust’s survey will use a series of questions on the type of house you live in and how it is heated to create a report on the energy efficiency of your home.

Food is important to all of us. Around one-fifth of our carbon footprint comes from food, but it's not as simple as how far the ingredients have travelled to your plate. Local food production is key to a community becoming more self-sustaining. We have set up a survey for you to give us feedback on all of our plans (Click Here to take survey) and we want to tell you a bit more about our possible food projects here:

Our ideas for waste and recycling PDF Print E-mail

Our society can be quite wasteful, but the "reduce, reuse, recycle" message is becoming more widely accepted and understood. Alness Transition Town Group have a few ideas on how we can minimise the waste we generate and better reuse and recycle. Remember that you can vote on which of our ideas are of most interest to you by taking our survey (Click Here to take survey). We are lucky enough to already have Ross-shire Waste Action Network working on these issues and they are the people to get in touch with for advice on recycling and composting (www.rowan.org.uk).
