Practical Action on Climate Change for Cheshire

A new multimedia toolkit will be launched next week which enable communities to calculate their carbon footprints and take practical steps to reduce their CO2 emissions.
A collaboration between Energy Projects Plus (EPPLUS) and University of Cheshire, this new toolkit will provide communities with tools they need to carry out a carbon footprint survey. I haven't seen the toolkit yet, but I believe there will be sections on renewable energy, transport and recycling. I'm picking up my copy on Friday 4th April and will post more details here about the content.
Residents of Chester are invited along to see the toolkit presentations on the following dates:
Northwich Memorial Hall on 8th April 4pm - 7pm
Chester Guild Hall, Watergate St on 23rd April 4pm - 7pm
For more details call Michael Flood on 01606 594272
Some North West communities are already using carbon footprinting as a way of informing residents about the need to reduce domestic energy before moving on to consultations about how their community can be more efficient and less reliant on fossil fuels in the future. if your community uses carbon footprinting already let me know what you think - how useful has it been in reducing carbon emissions and what are the benefits of measuring the data?
