Dec. 2: Sustainable Transport Workshop
Climate South East’s Tourism working group will hold a workshop looking at high fuel costs and what they mean for sustainable transport. Tourism businesses are particularly well-placed to promote not only walking, cycling, and use of public transport, but also the exploration of alternative fuels like biodiesel from waste cooking oil.
This free workshop, to be held at Beaulieu Motor Museum on December 2, will be open to all Climte South East members and to local tourism businesses who wish to attend. The aim is to offer practical, tangible, and cost-effective solutions to the problem of high fuel costs.
If you would like to attend, or to join the Tourism working group, contact .
