On sunday I was talking about the advantages of dealing with climate change as a community, so I was pleased to see MP Joan Ruddock making that same point in Parliament yesterday:
Calculating one’s own carbon footprint, trying to reduce it, and being rewarded for making emissions reductions can make a valuable contribution to voluntary efforts to reduce carbon. That is particularly true if adopted at community level. I applaud the efforts of members of carbon reduction action groups to monitor and reduce their carbon emissions. The strength of the growing Transition Towns movement and the success of schemes such as the British Gas green streets competition demonstrate the power of collective action.
