No bills on heating 🔥, hot water 🚿 and lighting? 💡 No joke!

@MetroMayorSteve has unveiled the Future Homes LCR plan at a modular house which can be built in just one week.

It has solar panels, a heat pump and a battery – and zero energy bills.

Did you know...
Since the 1930's the UK has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows? 🌺
This makes it so much harder for our beautiful bees 🐝 to find food throughout the year.
You can help support our 🐝population by planting different plants and flowers. Plant crocus and snowdrop bulbs now that will flower early next year and the 🐝 love them💖
Click the link below for more information.
Together we can make a difference 💚💙♥️

Artist Angie McCormick will be our 'Art For Wellbeing' tutor starting in September.

We asked Angie for examples of artwork produced at her previous courses as well as some encouraging words for people who have booked or anyone who is thinking of booking but is still unsure.

[WirralEnvironmentalNetwork @EcoWirral]

Angie says, "I think folks sometimes think it will be like school, but I want to encourage playing and exploring materials, using things in ways they aren’t usually used, enjoy doing it and then, when you’ve found the joy, try a new skill while you have a cuppa!"
