Local community carbon reduction action at parish level

Often our first step to knowing how to reduce emissions in our local communities is knowing what they are, so we can see where to make changes. Now even those of us who live in rural parishes can see data relevant to our communities!

This tool is very easy to use and shows your local parish carbon footprint, broken down into sources: https://impact-tool.org.uk/
