During Great Big Green Week, St Bees Green Future shared energy and money saving tips via social media and St Bees News.
Energy saving tips from turning off lights and not using standby to line drying clothes, using a slow cooker and only boiling as much water as you need were also depicted in scenes along Main Street and Sea Mill Lane.
Thank you to everyone involved.

Great Big Green Week celebrates community action to tackle climate change and protect nature.
In 2022 St Bees Green Future held a community craft event, reusing fabric scraps and embellishments to create a banner, bunting and green hearts – the symbol for caring about climate change. There was also a discussion café focused on food and climate change.
This year Great Big Green Week runs from 10th to 18th June and several organisations from St Bees are hosting events.
Saturday 10th June (10.30am – 12.30pm) – The Community Garden (next to the vicarage) is open to visitors and volunteers.
