Chester Green Drinks
CHESTER Green Drinks formed in September 2009 and now has more than 80 individuals registered, representing local authorities, businesses, NGOs, charities, environmental consultancies and many others, all professional, passionate and curious people who want to exchange knowledge and contacts on the environment.
We meet approximately every 6-8 weeks, usually with a specific topic or theme in mind as a conversation starter.
I’ve compiled a list of stuff we’ve done or talked about since we started... (it’s a lot!) ... environmental issues in Cheshire West & Chester / The End of the Line film screening / Green pub quiz / local cheese & fair trade wine / Lache Community Allotment Scheme / Rowlands Red Polls / renewable energy / feed-in tariffs / Guided Evening Walk / Sharp Solar Centre tour / Green Travel Schemes / Summer Farm Walk …

A new year brings with it many good intentions and resolutions, and many of us are looking for simple, pragmatic ways to save energy, change our habits, use less, reduce our heating and electricity bills in the face of predicted energy price rises and resource constraints.. not too mention rising debt ... do I need to go on!?
You may find some of the answers, inspiration, motivation and support by coming along to the Eco House for a tour and Q&A session on the 7th February.
ECO HOUSE LOCATION: 2 Stamford Road, Blacon, Chester CH1 5DG

The Sustainable Blacon team will show us round, be available for Q&A's, and also to offer us tea and coffee. We aim to start at 6.30pm, through to 8.30.
