CARBON FOOTPRINT

Each household in Dumfries & Galloway uses energy in a variety of different ways.  The production and use of this energy produces dangerous greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide which are causing global warming. 

If left unchecked, continued emissions of greenhouse gases at current levels will destabilise the earth's climate and make the world largely hostile to life.  This could happen within your children's lifetime.

This makes it vitally imporant for us to consider how we use energy and to adopt a low carbon lifestyle - to actively reduce those emissions of greenouse gases we are personally responsible for.

Our carbon footprint tool has been developed specifically for Creetown and will calculate how much greenhouse gas your household produces each year.  The survey covers home energy, transport, food, shopping and government spending on your behalf.

We will also develop a personal carbon action plan with you that will help identify low carbon behaviours you can adopt that suit you.  We will also show you how much greenhouse gas you will save each year by doing so. 

It is up to each of us to act.  Adopting a low carbon lifestyle means getting ahead of the game.  The future is low carbon, and the cost of high carbon lifestyles to your wallet, conscience and to the environment is only going to escalate.  So please contact us to complete a carbon action plan - you will be suprised at the many benefits this can bring.
