Green Devon
Posted by Cptn
Devon has shown its environmental credentials by having six schemes shortlisted for Regen South West’s Green Energy Awards. The breadth and scope of those shortlisted demonstrate that the environment isn’t just a political talking point, but programmes are being put in place.
Regen SW director Matthew Spencer told the PRSD: “For the first time, this year we are going to recognise the individuals who have done most to champion renewables on the ground – they are not household names, and often work behind the scenes, but we believe they deserve acclaim for their huge personal commitment and their success in delivering real solutions to climate change.â€
The winners will be announced on November 13.
