Another Callander resident was horrified to learn of her family’s energy use. Using the energy monitor was quite a revelation. “It definitely helped change some of our habits. We don’t overfill the kettle anymore and use the tumble drier less often.” Their electricity bill has in the decreased already and they have decided to have loft insulation installed and change their boiler in the future.

The owner of a local B&B was pleased to have become involved. Although she was already trying to do her bit, she feels her family has in the meantime become more aware still. They are now monitoring their travel habits more closely and trying to grow their own food, as well as food for their business. “Having the support of the people involved through Callander and Climate Change has been extremely helpful; both in discussions and practical advice. We would hope to continue this dialogue through attendance at meetings and keeping up to date with information circulated locally.”
