How does community innovation give measurable reductions in CO2 emissions?
Comparing your CO2 emissions before and after your community innovates you will be able to measure the reductions you’ve achieved. You’ll get advice and support throughout the Big Green Challenge about how to measure and record your baseline emissions and your CO2 reductions. Depending on your project, data collection may include: • Actual electricity and gas meter readings, receipts for fuels used e.g. coal, wood, bottled gas. • Travel records, fuel receipts, car sharing, recording of long-distance travel. Travel diaries e.g. for public transport, cycling etc. • Record of behaviour changes instigated e.g. walking buses to school etc • Food e.g. locally grown food, home composting etc.
