In 2010 Moffat CAN (Carbon Approaching Neutral) rescued the derelict Old Church Depot and has been turning it into a model for low carbon living. The surrounding waste land is now a community market garden and allotments and the zero-carbon Church houses CAN’s domestic and business recycling operation, offices and Scotland’s first Aquaponics Greenhouse. Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics and is a sustainable way of growing edible fish and vegetables. Power and heat for the site is sourced from renewable energy.

Your Doors Open Day visit will include a tour of the site and a chance to experience how we can all CHANGE to look forward to a future of low carbon living.
