The Council has put together some information packs for our Residents, Community Groups and Businesses to help them on their carbon reduction journeys.
We have tried to include information for everyone. So, it doesn't matter if you're just starting out or already a climate change champion we hope there are some useful tips for everyone.
It is important to remember that becoming more conscious about your carbon footprint and trying to reduce your emissions is not about scrutinising every decision you make, its about moving in the right direction and making changes where you can.
So, you are just starting out on your climate change journey? Whether you were inspired by COP26, the likes of David Attenborough or even a family member, the most important thing is that you are ready to make a change.
It is surprising how small changes you can make around your home or to your life can have a big impact on your carbon footprint. Pick a few of the actions from the toolkit to begin your climate change journey.
If you have already made some changes in your life to reduce your carbon footprint and are looking for some more ideas, this is the toolkit for you.
These actions can require a little more effort or perhaps some financial investment however they can also significantly reduce your carbon footprint and give you some big wins!
The actions listed on this page for the most part require a bit more time and effort. However, they often result in big carbon savings and big financial savings too. It's often the way that taking action to save the planet also means saving you money.
