Win a Christmas hamper

Be one of 300! We are hoping to get at least 300 people in Dorset to measure and reduce their carbon footprint by at least 5%. Let us know yours and you will be entered into a draw to win a local Christmas Hamper. Draw will take place on 1st December 2008.

Thanks for coming to this page, we would like to hear what you are already doing to tackle climate change, and what more you are intending to do. We would like to stay in touch and support you, but we will not contact you without your permission.

So first of all measure your carbon footprint, use the Act on CO2 calculator at http://actonco2.direct.gov.uk/index.html

There are lots of things you can do to cut your carbon footprint, there are a few ideas below. We would love to know what you are doing.

Why not wrap your home up warm? Insulating your home can save 1 tonne of carbon dioxide per year.

Why not walk or cycle? Leaving your car at home one day a week can save 0.35 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Why not eat local seasonal food? Local food travels less.

Why not compost? Composting, stops green waste rotting in landfill and saves an equivalent of 280kg of carbon dioxide per year.

Why not garden for wildlife? Gardening with wildlife in mind, helps species adapt to climate change, reduces use of nitrate fertilizers, and gives you somewhere to put that lovely compost!

What is your address?

What is your telephone number?

Do Dorset Climate Change Coalition have permission to contact you in the future in order to support joint action on climate change?
