Leeds Friends are taking practical steps towards becoming a sustainable community

by The Friend Newsdesk 7th October 2011

  Friends in Leeds say that solar panels fitted on the roof of their Meeting house have already saved as much carbon as would be used by driving from Glasgow to Brighton and back again.  The sixteen panels have been fitted on the roof of the Woodhouse Lane Meeting House opposite Leeds University. The development forms part of Leeds Friends’ attempts to contribute to a ‘low-carbon and sustainable community’.
