Shopping Centre Supports Energy Saving Week

Shoppers in the Aberdeen Bon Accord St. Nicholas Shopping Centre can find out how to lead more environmentally friendly lives and save money at the same time during Energy Saving week, (Monday 23 – Saturday 28 October) as the Aberdeen-based Save Cash And Reduce Fuel organisation (Aberdeen SCARF) offers tips and advice on the small lifestyle changes that make less of an impact on natural resources and ultimately help to combat climate change. The free event will take place in the central atrium of the Bon Accord St. Nicholas Shopping Centre from 9am till 5pm.

Aberdeen SCARF Chief Executive Jean Morrison says: “SCARF provides householders, businesses and organisations with independent, free and impartial advice on sustainable use of energy that will not only reduce the amount of energy they use or save them money on fuel bills, and provide a warm, dry environment that puts less strain on natural resources and combats climate change.”

“In the Bon Accord St Nicholas Shopping Centre we will be handing out information to the public about the kinds of measures they can take in their own home to save on both energy and bills,” continues Jean. “We will also provide information on the kinds of grants available for insulation and central heating. To encourage people to start saving energy we will be giving away free low energy light bulbs to every householder that commits to saving energy in their homes.”

Centre manager Frank Sutherland says, “We are fully behind SCARF advising the public on how to lead more energy efficient lives, which will go some way towards helping to save the planet. As winter approaches it is especially important that as many people as possible are fully aware of the simple actions they can take to keep their energy footprint to a minimum and subsequently avoid high heating bills at the same time. Such actions can be as simple as wearing a warm jersey indoors instead of a t-shirt, in the middle of December!”
