This is another demo budget proposal.

Put a windmill on Edinburgh Castle

Cost is estimated as £19999

We are planning to insulate our premises and install energy efficient lighting which will allow us to utilise parts of our building that currently unused. We will be insulating our ceilings and installing energy efficient lighting. We want to provide a warm and comfortably lit venue for our volunteers, guests and visitors while being concious of the increasing costs of energy. We are also concerned about the potential energy shortages facing us all this winter. We are very keen to do all that we can to reduce our energy consumption and help to avoid potential power cuts. We are also very aware of the global impact of wasted energy and are very keen to reduce our carbon footprint.

We want to extend the availability of our electric bike hire scheme.

This will make it easier for people to get about and reduce the amount of carbon emissions

 We want to introduce solar-powered robotic mowers as a quiet and clean way to tend our lawns. Our heavy diesel-powered ride-on mower is noisy, time consuming, and costly to run; it causes environmental problems such as soil compaction, tree root damage, and carbon emissions. Solar-powered robotic mowers will solve those problems and improve the lawn health by returning the clippings to the soil, removing the need for fertiliser. 

provide a wind turbine for all of our schools. It can generate a modest amount of electricity, and be used to teach children about the importance of climate change and the different types of renewable energies
