Energy/ Retrofitting
● Keep the place clean and use the bins. ● No littering. ● Less abuse of environment by careless dumping of materials that could be recycled. Repair of fixable items instead of dumping them. ● The recycling Centre at Eden Park is a fantastic facility - please retain. ● Get rid of plastics and bring back returnable bottles and jars. ● Enforce the law on dumping (including in the sea) on litter, on Smokey fuels.
Campaigns and engaging with people to change behaviour is definitely required but so is enforcement. After a short campaign, issue warnings and then every year make the polluter pay the maximum fee. We have to protect this environment we are so lucky to have. ● Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. ● A cleaner place to live and work. ● Provide more litter bins.
Energy/ Retrofitting
Hydrogen power is the major fuel of the future and DLR could help lead the way by making a proportion of the fleet hydrogen-power.
Green Energy
● It is really good to see more public (and private) transport and public facilities like bins using renewable energy sources. ● Lots of rivers and sea and wind, it would be great if these were used for renewable energy. ● Having wind energy. ● Councils using solar panels on all its offices and community centres. ● Fund retrofitting of homes and businesses. Heat pumps are not suitable for older homes, alternative heating solutions will need to be used for example much can be learned from the rollout of hydrogen throughout the gas network in Leeds where all new gas boilers sold from next year must be hydrogen ready. We have not made plans for using the existing gas network and no thought has been given to expanding the gas network into new builds in order to give people a choice of fuel source, hydrogen is a clean energy. ● Reduce dependence on fuels and resources that are harmful to the environment. ● Bigger grants for home projects such as solar panels. ● Free council collection for recycling weekly. ● More electric charging points. ● Energy, Mobility, Technology, Food, Materials. ● More green areas and parks and more support for this area . ● More charge points for electric vehicles. ● We have reduced our carbon dioxide and methane emissions. We can move around easily, using active travel. We do not pollute our waterways. We do not waste food. We do not use unnecessary plastic. ● Homes that are insulated and have solar panels. ● More renewable energy such as offshore wind farms and biogas. More hybrid
