Dorset Greener Homes 1-9 October

Keen to save energy and money? Or just keen to be green? Shaftesbury is celebrating the adaptations some people have made to their homes or life-styles by joining in with this county-wide event organised by the Dorset Climate Action Network (Dorset CAN). Around 50 homes took part in 2021 and more are being added for 2022 - including several in the Shaftesbury area. These may be new houses with the latest heating or ventilation technologies; or others may have been retrofitted with improved insulation, windows, or solar panels; and there will be some where the inhabitants have chosen to make low-cost life-style changes - such as growing veg, maintaining a wildlife-friendly garden, travelling less, reducing waste. There's a website with map, illustrative details of what you could see at each home and what the viewing arrangements may be. Find the website here.
