This blog is dedicated to presenting the carbon footprints and personal reports from the eight members of Glastonbury’s first CRAG (Carbon Reduction Action Group).  Click to see their carbon footprints, read on to see our more personal reports on how we’re doing…

Amy Lawson
Jon Cousins
Lokabandhu
Marke Pawson
Rachel Clyne
Trisha O’Carroll
Patrick Whitefield
and Adrian Hopper

Our aim is to provide a very practical and personal and public demonstration that individuals really can reduce their carbon emissions and can learn and have fun in the process.

All the CRAGs members have pledged to calculate their emissions from the past year, monitor them over the coming year, and take steps to reduce them by at least 5%. In the process we expect to learn a lot about how to do it, and how it feels when trying to do it…

Some of our results and adventures will be posted here as and when we’re able.

Thanks for reading this. Comments and suggestions welcome – and do come back to find out how we’re getting on!



Efergy Energy Reader

Hi all

I have purchased an “Efergy” (a real time energy reader) with the idea of hiring it out to people who would like to know what energy is used when and by what whithin the home or office.

The reader can be used anywhere in the home. it gives accurate electricity costs, carbon footprint readings.

Portable display means you can be anywhere in your home or office to recieve readings. Easy set up.

The cost will be £3.00 per week with a £10.00 deposit (deposit fully refunded on return of efergy in good working order).

At the moment it will be on hire for one week at a time, know when your’e using the most energy.

After 6 months we recommend that you hire the efergy again to see if you have reduced your energy use, your carbon and your costs.

Kind Regards

Amy
