Renew-Reuse-Recycle is an online community all about what we can do to stop or mitigate the effects of climate change.
We know our climate is changing, and that in this century we should expect that:
- temperatures will increase
- winter rainfall will get heavier, increasing the risk of flooding
- summer rainfall may reduce considerably, creating pressure on water resources
- sea levels will rise, leading to further coastal erosion and flood risk
In future, climate change will affect many aspects of our lives, our environment, our business and our public services.
The idea of this website is to provide a place where people who want to adopt green technologies can get help and advice from those who've been down the path already.

Island of Pellworm points the way to the energy supply system of the future

Today northern Germany’s first smart local energy system was officially inaugurated by Schleswig-Holstein Premier Torsten Albig, E.ON SE Board of Management member Leonhard Birnbaum, and Schleswig-Holstein Netz AG Board of Management member Matthias Boxberger.

Hi All,
Does anyone know how often we need to replace the antifreeze liquid in our ground source heat loops, also does it all need to be replaced or can it be topped up by adding some new and replacing some old.
I am getting mine serviced and the engineer said they will test the antifreeze and replace if necessary at 150 litres in the system this could work out to be quite expensive, does any one have any experience of this.
Thanks
