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!

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 🙏

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

EcoCounts Local Climate Action

This is how we work:

  • at the heart of it, we are building and trying out a new approach to tackling the climate crisis, focusing personally on our carbon footprints and weaving our efforts in with business and government action
  • if we can save the climate, we must save nature too – all-round sustainability is the big picture
  • 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!
