The Rural Community Carbon Network : a collective response to
climate change - call for support (Rural Focus Jan/Feb07)
In the autumn of 2006 ruralnet|uk teamed up with the
Carnegie Rural Community Development Programme to seek to raise awareness and
promote collective approaches to reducing energy use and increasing energy
production from renewable sources, or in shorthand, reducing the carbon
footprint of communities.
We have invested in the design of a national programme to
support communities who are working collectively to reduce their carbon
footprint. We want to support communities on the leading edge who know a lot more
about the practicalities than we do and we also want to support communities who
want to do the same. We also want to raise awareness amongst others who haven’t
even thought about this approach before.
Take a look at some of the shared bookmarks we are currently collecting here. These bookmarks relate to current news or information about community energy projects.
The on-going mapping exercise can be seen here.
