Eco House general flip-chart notes

• What do housing associations / council get out of it?
• Talk about 5 years, to get a real feeling of project.
• Want to have a safe house to visit, cameras to show people the work going on (cellar and loft)
• Want to run ‘money saving’ projects. (eg Sewing, tool library, sharing of skills)
• Improve pride in the area
• Active house would lead to an active street (know your neighbors, see each other in the house)
• To help with fuel poverty, it’s in the interest of a landlord (social) to reduce fuel poverty.
• Social landlords could provide garden tools or sewing machines as standard. Encourage ‘brave’ steps – growing your own.
• Moral Support to do these good things.
• Getting people to ‘do’ green, if not think green.
• Also important to think water poverty / saving water.
