Through site visits, workshops and best practice evaluations, they are able to share advice about energy saving and renewable projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo look after the landscapes, wildlife and heritage we love as a nation, we need to do everything we can to reduce carbon emissions,\u201d said Helen Ghosh, head of the National Trust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see years of coastal erosion take place in a matter of months and are battling the destruction of flooding, new pests and diseases on our natural and historic heritage, you have to be concerned about climate change and its effects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The queen\u2019s households have a mixed record when it comes to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, staff at Balmoral unveiled plans for a <a
