PACT - ma Carbon footprint

Well then...

Last year I took part in a project which tracks key personal carbon emissions. I run, cycle and use the train as much as possible,only use the wee Berlingo for journeys not practicable by other means and reckon I do not waste energy at home. Yet I blew the arse out of my 4 tonne target. The cause is easy to identify - a long haul flight to Oz. So, the target this year is to avoid setting foot on a plane! Maybe drastic but guilt and karma are both rather powerful.

  1. looks interesting. will have to have a look at that. we use the train/cycle everywhere but approximately once a month do about a 900m round trip for some hill or other ;) !!

  2. Awareness is the starting point (which I reckon you obviously have). An improvement is my target for this year :-)
