Low Carbon Al-Meezan
A number of Climate Challenge Funded projects have been running at Al-Meezan for the last number of years. During this time we have been changing hearts and minds as well as lowering our carbon footprint.
Low Carbon Al-Meezan (funded by Scottish Government Climate Challenge fund distributed by Keep Scotland Beautiful) continues to using the momentum that has been built over these years to encourage further changes and positive action in relation to reducing our carbon footprint.
Yes, sometimes we do have to use car’s, so why not learn a Fuel-Efficient way of driving thus reducing your fuel costs and the pollution your car cause. Keep an eye out for further workshops on Fuel Efficient driving?
