What can I do about climate change?

Tandridge District is part of Action Surrey (This link will open in a new window) which offers advice to residents, schools and businesses on how to reduce energy and water consumption and save you money.

As part of Action Surrey, there is an energy and water efficiency show home that is free to visit, a walk-in low carbon advice centre and an online community that is available to residents and members of the public.

Action Surrey also manages a network of trusted, local and experienced installers who can install insulation, replace boilers and are experts in solar and other microgeneration technology.

I am a resident:

• You can borrow a free energy monitor from your local Surrey Library through the Home Energy Monitors (This link will open in a new window) scheme to be aware of how much energy your domestic appliances are using.
• Act On CO2 (This link will open in a new window) has ideas on how you can reduce your energy use, cut your carbon emissions and save money.
