Bob the Builder Launches 'Project Renovate'

Bob the Builder in partnership with thinkinsulation.com have launched Project Renovate. The Project is an environmentally focused community initiative, designed increase the awareness of pre-school children on the importance of energy efficiency in buildings. Project Renovate aims to capture the children's attention at a young age and raise levels of awareness of the impact they have on their surroundings as they grow, both at home and school. Providing pre-school children with this knowledge and understanding will allow them to work towards creating a more sustainable future.
