Find out your carbon footprint
There are a lot of things you can do to lower your carbon footprint.
A first step is finding out what your carbon footprint is. There are lots of great carbon footprint calculators out there – the WWF's carbon footprint calculator is a good place to start.
Once you know what your carbon footprint is, there are apps and tools that help track your carbon usage and can help you reduce it.
Impact Score® Shopping is an app that allows you to scan products you're considering buying to find out its carbon footprint and other information, such as whether it includes sustainably and responsibly produced ingredients.
We encourage you to do your own research to find the best apps, websites and groups for you.
Explore the Carbon Neutral Cornwall Hive
Visit the Carbon Neutral Cornwall Hive to learn about the positive actions people are taking to address climate change.
We understand that not everyone knows where to start or how to reduce their carbon footprint. We know that some people need support and encouragement. We also know there are people in Cornwall who can help other people.
The Carbon Neutral Cornwall Hive is a place to learn from each other and 'bee' inspired.
There's plenty to do on the CNC Hive:
- Learn what other people are doing
- Be inspired
- Share ideas
Visit the Carbon Neutral Cornwall Hive and join in our 'hive mind' thinking and behaving.
