2. We are pleased to have recently taken delivery of a Toyota Prius, a hybrid electric vehicle with one the lowest tail pipe emissions recorded in modern cars.  It is important to us to demonstrate current technologies providing practical solutions to the causes of climate change.  In this way we reduce our motoring costs and more importantly lessen our impact on our environment. If you're passing the ECO Centre and want to know more, drop in and ask for a demonstration! If it's not being used we would be pleased to show you.  If you want more information on the car, then we suggest getting it from Toyota directly. There is a link on the news item:

We have just distributed our recently published CDROM 'Your World: Your Choice' free to all secondary schools in Wales. It examines the consequences of everyday choices that we make.  It is aimed at KS3 students, but that doesn't preclude primary schools using it.  An introduction and some screenshots from it are available at:

We have also just distributed our printed annual newsletter, the PDF was flagged up in the last email newsletter. If you would like a hard copy or two, contact us with your details and we'll post one out to you.
