Green transition talk for Douglas students

Sunday, 30 July 2023 12:00

A local charity visited Sixth Form students at Ballakermeen to discuss sustainability and renewable energy.

Directors from the Energy and Sustainability Centre Isle of Man (ESC) gave a talk followed by a Q&A session.

The aim of the ESC is to help maximise the economic and environmental benefit of the Island's green transition.

Head of Sixth Form at the school, Richard Karran, says he's heard a lot of conversations in the common room about the need for action, 'and that is such a positive thing.'
