Wood Energy for a Low Carbon Future
Thursday July 17th 2008 at 19:30 at Scarlett Fireplaces, 164 London Road, Southend-on-Sea
A presentation and discussion led by Jason Scarlett exploring how we can
ensure future fuel resilience for Westcliff on Sea.
Current energy and environmental issues are on all our minds. With gas
and oil prices rising and stocks depleting the mention of renewable
energy is no longer just the concern of the green ones among us. One
answer lies wood fuel derived from the sustainable management
(coppicing) and replanting of our local indigenous woodlands.
Wood burning can be eased into modern lifestyles as part of a real and
necessary carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuels. Heating your home
with logs can mean that your energy bill incurs no standing charge and
is paid directly to the local forest industry that manage our woodland,
street and garden trees. In turn, local councils, farmers and land
owners see tree planting more favourably.
Free admission, however due to limited space booking is essential,
please email info@designafireplace.com or ring 01702 335054 to ensure
your place!
