*Run your house more efficiently. Community Energy Plus can steer you through improvements to your property with no bias. They just advise you on the possibilities and companies that can help you and hold your hand through the process. We also have companies who have an excellent record in improving energy performance in Cornish homes.

*Food costs are on the rise. Come and see how you can live healthily, cheaply and help save the planet.

*Re-use, reduce, recycle. We have experts who can help you do that.

*Take an active role in helping our environment: plenty of local organisations will show you what they are doing and how you can help.

*Watch the brilliant Cornwall Care films, “Power to the People” and “Down the Drain”. We have a schedule of short talks by our experts who will be able to answer your questions.

There will be teas, coffees and snacks, and filled rolls or baked potatoes at lunchtime.

Climate Action St Austell will give away free trees for the fourth time this year.

We can all make small changes to help the planet.
