We held a successful Open Greenhouse with over 170 person/visits to the 8 houses on show. Some received over 20 visitors on both afternoons resulting in lots of interesting discussion.

You can read our conclusions in an in depth report on the organisation and running of the event.

Since we ran the weekend we have found examples of other innovations which we hope to show in the next Open Greenhouse to be held as part of 10:10 on the 10th October 2010.

Smart meters are a very easy and convenient way for you to monitor your electricity usage. You can see what difference boiling a kettle really has. Greening Fulfloood have bought two Owl energy monitors, which are available for anyone in Fulflood to borrow free of charge (although any donation would be be welcomed!)

It is an addictive way for all the family to engage in reducing consumption.

email us on greeningfulflood@googlemail.com to book yourself a monitor.

Did you know that if you are an E.ON customer you can claim a free one and have access to their free online energy tracker. For more information click here.

• With the government boiler scrappage scheme you could be eligible for £400 towards a more efficient new one or a renewable heating system like a heat pump. More
• Winchester City Council Warm Front Grants. More

As a result of everybody’s efforts during the challenge over the summer Fulflood will save every year:

• 59 tonnes of carbon (enough to fill 59 ten metre diameter balloons or 177 telephone boxes, or, in six years, the whole of the interior of Winchester Cathedral), and
• 72 tonnes of water (2½ water tankers).

This will reduce Fulflood bills by over £11,000 per year.

1 in 12 of Fulflood households participated, and the campaign believes many other households had already taken similar steps. The highest level of participation was in Wordsworth Close.
