If you really want to go net zero

Get rid off all your electronic technologies including smart phones, games consoles, televisions that need to be left on standby rather than switching off at the wall, Alexia and other listening devices, and anything that needs to be left plugged in and on standby waiting for updates.


All of these consume power


Shop local rather than at supermarkets, shopping centres and on the internet as local shops tend to source locally plus if you do shop locally you will be less inclined to drive and get less packaging from online retailers


Eat what's in season


Send your kids to a local school rather than choosing a better school miles away (as a lot of patents do) and encourage them to walk / cycle to school


Don't take foreign holidays


Switch lights off when out of the room


Use a milk delivery service that delivers in glass bottles (less plastic waste)


Use washable nappies not pull ons (sensible really)


All these things and more are needed to truly reduce our carbon footprint, it's not just attacking drivers for necessary journeys as that alienates them.


Make small changes to your life which have big impacts on the planet

I'm looking forward to being on the start-up call on 22nd. There are a lot of simple and practical steps I know we can action. Now is the time to "build back greener"! The new gov Green Home Grant seems a good support for future energy saving/carbon emission reductions too.

Thank you to Andrew for hosting the first meeting last night. A dozen people logged in to to find out about reducing one's carbon footprint from home, in simple and practical ways. It's hoped a website and social media will follow soon.


There's a second meeting in a month's time, at a local venue (possibly in person). You can calculate your own carbon emissions using a online calculator such as carbonfootprinnt.com. You can read up more on Net Zero, and the changes we need to make, on the Committee for Climate Change website.

As a quick update, we are in the process of putting a Facebook group together. A website and social media should be up before the next monthly meeting in August. Please do get in touch if you are interested/able to contribute with any of this. PP

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
