Event aims to help Falkirk district businesses go green and save money

‘A Green Way to Save’ is taking place on Monday, March 20 in the Falkirk Business Hub on Vicar Street and is being organised by Forth Environment Link in partnership with Falkirk Delivers.

Members of the business community from across the district are welcome to attend the day, which will offer helpful tips, resources and workshops around making a climate friendly impact with your business and saving money in the process.

There will also be information on how this can transfer to your – and your employees’ – personal wellbeing.

The event, which runs from 9.30am to 2pm, is an interactive drop in event with a mix of activities taking place which can be as little as ten minutes, or longer for those with a bit more time.

Among the activities planned are the chance to try an ebike; social auditing; energy saving tips; ideas to reduce food waste; funding resources; social enterprise; tips on going plastic free and the benefit of sharing your climate story with your customers.

There will also be a focused Climate Literacy Workshop taking participants through an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions on an individual, community and organisational bases.

Throughout the day complimentary refreshments will be provided for those attending by Finnegan’s Cafe.

Monday’s event feeds into FEL’s wider work to improve local climate and community wellbeing.

The charity has recently been working with communities in Denny, Bainsford and Langlees and Bo’ness on their Climate Action Plans and has also been running a campaign to encourage people to shop locally.

The event is funded by Scotland's Towns Partnership as part of the Scotland Loves Local project.
