the c-change trust’s ‘Carbon Gym’ voted pick of the bunch
As part of our first emissions reduction project we thought we’d create an online tool to help householders to not only measure their carbon emissions, but give detailed advice and links to help reduce them by making a series of pledges. The carbon footprint is seen in relation to future government CO2 reduction targets.

We embarked on the project with the ‘National Energy Foundation’ who are experts on energy efficiency - the project became known as ‘the carbon gym’ and the brief was to create the most useful and accurate carbon calculator we could.
The calculator has since been approved by DEFRA and used by hundreds of people to help reduce emissions, the carbon gym was recently voted pick of the bunch by the Sunday Observer.
The idea was written by the c-change trust and programmed by Patrick dobson of Moonspace designs with technical help and extra development from Sarah Coe, Ian Byrne and Tim Lunel from the NEF.
