25 people have signed up to the local Whychwood CRAG. It’s aims are to reduce the personal carbon footprints of the group using a carbon rationing technique. Currently, everyone in the group is working on finding out their current carbon footprints using a new, locally developed carbon calculator, the carbon account. Because this calculator bases its results on your actual meter and mileage readings, you are able to keep an accurate record of your carbon footprint and track it over time.
Once we all have our readings, we will decide what the carbon limit of the group is and all try to abide by it! This is a really exciting project that tests out the feasibility of the much talked about national carbon rationing that may or not come in. In any case, the Carbon Rationing Action Group is a fun and sociable way to meet new people, discuss your ideas and lower your emissions.
There is still time to join in if you missed the first meeting. Just log on to beta.thecarbonaccount.org and start entering in your readings, keep an eye out on the website for upcoming meetings or email us at info@sustainablecharlbury.org.
Happy counting!
