Course about energy saving

A new evening course at the Woy Woy Environment Centre will offer local residents the chance to beat rising electricity prices.

The free course, run by the Peninsula Environment Group, will begin on Monday, May 23, at 6:30pm.

The course, developed by the CSIRO, consists of eight sessions on the fourth Monday of each month.

It will show participants how to save energy in their homes, as well as explore general issues about energy, the environment and climate change.

"A typical Australian household can save hundreds of dollars each year by fitting low-cost energy saving devices and simple changes to the way they use energy," said course co-ordinator Dr Joachim Muller.
