What’s the Big Green Makeover?
Do you live in private accommodation? Do you want help to save money and make your home more sustainable? You need a Big Green Makeover!
This project exists to inspire and support students and staff to make basic changes in their homes to lighten the pressure on on their wallets and on the planet.
Trained volunteer Green Teams working in pairs can visit your house to provide advice where needed, and point you to local services provided by the Council and your local Energy Saving Scotland advice centre.
Our aim is to share what we learn on the Transition Edinburgh University website, so that other university populations and community groups can learn from our experiences as we seek to learn from theirs.
How to get involved
- Sign up for a Big Green Makeover and work with us to make your home more sustainable
- Join the Green Team and recieve comprehensive training to help others improve their flats
- Get involved in organising the project by coming along to one of our weekly planning meetings, usually on Wednesdays from 1-2.30 at the TEU office, 5 Forrest Hill, EH1 2QL.
