We want to help people learn new skills, use less energy, eat locally sourced seasonal produce and reduce, reuse and recycle.

We have a variety of workshops and events where you can find out how to reduce your carbon footprint and help your local community. Best of all it's completely FREE because we believe that Scotland's journey to a lower carbon future should be accessible to all.

Here's what coming up soon. To find out more or to sign up for any of the workshops or events just click on the links below

'The Green Lie' - Film Screening & Discussion

Environmentally-friendly electric cars, sustainably-produced food products, fair production processes… Can our purchasing power help save the world?

In this tongue-in-cheek two-hander, Austrian director Werner Boote and German author Kathrin Hartmann meticulously unpick some of the most prevalent ‘greenwashing’ myths at play today. They take viewers on a round-the-globe tour of corporate hypocrisy, to the sites of catastrophic environmental disasters and shocking land rights violations – all of which are harming humans, animals and the planet despite the glowing promises of effective self-regulation.
