Do you love working with people & have a burning desire to do something about the climate crisis? We’re building a diverse group of 30+ people in our area. We need locally-based co-ordinators to help kick it off.
Tasks:
- putting together a small group of friends, family, neighbours or colleagues
- co-ordinating their participation (& yours) in carbon footprint monitoring
- keeping them engaged.
Goals: creating our 2024 annual carbon footprint retrospectively; starting our 2025 carbon footprint initially monthly or weekly; raising our awareness overall to the next level; providing input to the development of the app.
Duration: 1 year (can always be extended)
Location: in our six boroughs (Camden, Islington, Hackney, Haringey, Westminster and the City) – local co-ordinators ranges can overlap with each other: building up your personal networks in our area doesn’t restrict you to any postcode
Commitment: 2 to 5 hours per week
Prerequisites: a good overview of why EcoCounts exists (we’ll help you with that), stubborn optimism, a little consistency & dedication
Rewards: learn about new, different ways to approach the climate crisis; play a meaningful part in concrete climate action; become a part of our network; work with others with the same hopes and attitudes; get the official EcoCounts endorsement and thank-you; opportunity to go on & do more with EcoCounts and allies;

A few more details
To make a success of this, we figure you will really need to be local to our base area of Islington, Haringey, Hackney, Camden, Westminster or the City. We really want people to attend in-person group meetings to enhance group dynamics, volunteer commitment and motivation, and to leverage their local networks to help our progress.
Before you apply
Please bear in mind that we want you to feel fully supported, whether that is with a stream of ideas for actions, helping with conflicts, swapping thoughts with other co-ordinators or with the strategy team.
Just a side-note, but personal change is only one of the five ways fundamental ways that we can change society – we don’t focus on personal change alone, we want to change our community, our local businesses and our government’s attitude – local government and Westminster. Find out more on our website.
We are very keen on everyone being local, coming to in-person meetings and leveraging their local knowledge and connections, to keep group dynamics strong and foster motivation and commitment.
