How can you tackle the climate crisis?
You may think alone you can’t do very much, but as a part of a group, you become a lot more effective. Join EcoCounts and you join a group of people determined to make a difference.
Based in North and Central London, we EcoCounts members take a group-based approach to reducing our carbon footprints, improving our sustainable way of life, and building our resilience in the face of what the future might bring – and all without breaking the bank. If you’re on the lowest income, you’re actually best placed to do well at this. Come and get involved!

For a world in control of CO₂ emissions, via fair social and economic means, motivating and supporting people and organisations to reduce their carbon footprints
Explore how small changes can dramatically cut your carbon footprint — and see how we are more effective together as a group, in impact and in influence.
Collective action ensures an overall reduction in the group’s emissions, even if some participants fall short of their personal targets.
Why would we do this? Because we are already being hit by climate change and other crises. We only need to scratch the surface and the impact becomes clear. But we can stop this.
We have a catalogue of sustainability and resilience actions for group members – carbon is only one piece in the puzzle.
The group is designed around mutual support; when one person cannot make a change, others in the group can compensate, ensuring the group’s total carbon footprint declines steadily. It is the combined effort, not each individual action that guarantees the measurable, real-world progress.







EcoCounts Mondays
⏰ Every Monday 6:00pm to 8:30pm
🗓️ EcoCounts has a calendar full of talks, workshops and films on useful topics about:
- lowering our impact on nature and the climate
- making ourselves resilient to climate impacts on us
- raising our voices and demanding change locally, in London, UK and the world
➡️ In the upstairs lounge at St Luke’s Church, West Holloway, on the corner of Penn Road and Hillmarton Road, N7 9JE – by bus on Camden Road or 8 mins walk from Caledonian Rd tube. Use the side door to the left by the bike racks.
Alternatively, keep up to speed with what’s going on in future by signing up to our newsletter here 🤔 🌍 ⁉️ for monthly updates on our progress and useful tips on sustainability and nature 🙏
Tuesdays to Sundays
We are also setting up an online EcoCounts group for everyone who can’t do Mondays or just wants to concentrate on reducing their carbon footprint using the carbon footprint app we’ve got in development – sign up to be notified when this is launched.

We’re on a Mission
Our aim is to build personal responsibility for CO₂ emissions and give individuals and businesses the tools to act. Individual efforts won’t solve the climate crisis on their own, but sharing what we do can spark wider change across industry, commerce, and government. This is the foundation of our strategy.
If EcoCounts can show a clear way forward, we’ll be well placed to press for government action to curb fossil fuel production and cut emissions across society. With that in place:
- carbon literacy will rise rapidly
- businesses will gain a framework that supports the energy transition
- government will be able to set and meet ambitious climate targets

- we meet up regularly in real life on Mondays with most Mondays featuring talks, workshops or films on nature, climate and resilience
- we have a great combination of online platforms to collaborate and progress projects
- our newsletter makes our activities public, so people can see how “eco” works – KISS!
