Green Footprint Challenge

This is a 12 month challenge with the aim of reducing our collective carbon footprint.

Members were asked to calculate their carbon footprint and then implement one big change and two or three small changes. Suggestions for big changes included becoming vegetarian, avoiding cruises and flights or using the TreeApp to plant a (free) tree every day. Suggestions for small changes included switching to glass milk bottles, using public transport rather than a car, buying local produce, using rechargeable batteries, covering pans when cooking on the hob, foraging for food.

Prizes will be awarded in April 2022 for the members who persuade the most people to join the challenge and for the most innovative idea for tackling climate change!
