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!

Personal Carbon Footprints for the average Londoner in tonnes of CO₂ p.a.
	1.5 tonnes for food
1.9 tonnes		for home energy
2.4 tonnes for transport

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 – especially when we’re not cushioned by our lifestyle. 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 for resilience; 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 impact.
