We all cause the release of greenhouse gases as we go about our day to
day life � heating the house, driving the car, watching TV. The build-up
of these gases, particularly carbon dioxide, is causing climate change �
a real problem for everyone in the world. To solve this we all need to
cut back on our energy use.
At the street party we hope to work out the �carbon footprint� for all of us in Gwydir St and Milford St. This is a measure of how much carbon dioxide is released by each household. There will be prizes for the households with the smallest and biggest footprints; tips on how to reduce your footprint and the chance to enter a year-long carbon reduction challenge. (With more prizes.) To take part you will need to know your annual gas and electricity
bills, your car mileage and answer a few other easy questions.
Please come and help make our streets the first in Cambridge to know the
size of their own footprints and the best at reducing them.
