Moffat CAN
description: In 2010 Moffat CAN (Carbon Neutral) rescued the derelict Old Church Depot and has been turning it into a model for low carbon living. The surrounding wasteland is now a community market garden and allotments and the zero-carbon Church houses CAN’s 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. All power and heat for the site is sourced from renewable energy. Moffat CAN are keen to offer a ‘Key to Low Carbon Living’.
