Cambridge City Council and Cambridge Carbon Footprint are calling on residents and businesses to sign up to the Cambridge Climate Change Charter to help Cambridge become a zero carbon city.
The Cambridge Climate Change Charter is an initiative to help individuals and organisations take practical steps in their everyday lives to help play a part in tackling climate change. It enables anyone to identify the environmental impact of their everyday lives and activities and then offers a wealth of tips and advice for reducing their emissions.
The aim of the Charter is to provide realistic advice and encouragement to anyone wanting to help tackle climate change. It makes suggestions on different themes for the steps people can take, such as advice on switching to renewable energy, joining a car pool or electric car club, eating seasonally and locally and donating surplus food.
The Charter also acknowledges that 49 per cent of Cambridge’s emissions come from businesses and organisations, and so offers guidance and information on how companies can act in more environmentally-friendly ways that fit in with their objectives, including by accessing grants to reduce emissions and make savings on energy bills.
Rosy Moore, executive councillor for Climate Change, Environment and City Centre, said: “It’s going to take a real collective effort by everyone in Cambridge to reduce our emissions, save energy and fight climate change – and the new Cambridge Climate Change Charter will provide Cambridge with a new focus for making crucial steps.
“Nobody can do it all, but if we all identify some changes we could make and pledge to take action, then collectively we can make a real difference to bringing about a cleaner, greener, carbon neutral Cambridge. If you like some of the ideas you see on the Cambridge Climate Change Charter website, why not tell your friends, relatives and colleagues about what actions you’re taking and encourage them to sign the Charter too!”
