Salop Leisure support the Carbon Forum Light Fantastic mobile exhibition

Shrewsbury based caravan and leisure
company Salop Leisure have generously supplied the Light Fantastic project with
essential items to get the exhibition on the road.

Managing Director Mark Bebb said "I
am delighted to support this local project, we have a commitment to be energy
efficient at Salop Leisure and it's good to help others to do the
same."

The Light Fantastic Roadshow,
operated by Marches Energy Agency, has been touring the West Midlands giving
away low energy bulbs and talking to people about energy
efficiency.

Project Manager, Sarah Meredith said "We've given away over 12,000 low
energy bulbs so far. Over their lifetime that will save 1,756 tonnes of CO2 and
nearly £750,000 off people's electricity bills and replacement lights. That's
just a month of events, so we are really making an impact with the
project."

Energy company E.ON are also
supporting the project, donating low energy bulbs from leading manufacturer
Megaman and Powerdown units to help householders reduce their energy
consumption.

A grant from Awards for All has
allowed completion of the exhibition and the Shropshire Aggregates Levy
Sustainability Fund has paid for a number of events this summer at local shows
and venues. The next events in Shropshire to be visited by the Light Fantastic
trailer are the Oswestry and Minsterley Shows on August 2^nd and
9^th.
