CRed Chester

We are delighted that you are willing to join us in tackling climate change - the biggest threat to our way of life.

If we are to reduce the impact of global warming we need to take action now. All of us can make simple pledges to cut our energy use and emissions. These might involve simply changing to low energy light bulbs or considering how you might alter your lifestyle to reduce your carbon footprint.

The council is taking the lead in offering all its 166,000 citizens personal access to the CRed pledge system. it's easy to make a pledge to take action.

How can you help at home to reduce your carbon footprint?

There are many ways in which you can reduce your personal carbon footprint and this site is designed to help you make and monitor your pledges to take action.

For example, you could make a simple pledge to start walking to school instead of driving, or you may opt to buy a lower energy use fridge, next time you buy one. If you want to make an even bigger impact you could increase your loft insulation to 11 inches (as recommended) and/or fit double glazing. You could also change over to a greener energy supply for no extra cost by calling your current energy supplier using the phone number at the top of your bill.

The great thing is that all these actions help to stem climate change and save you money. What a great combination!

The council and organisations such as Energy Projects Plus (external link) are on hand to help you along your pathway to carbon neutrality. They can recommend actions and help you identify local suppliers who can support you.
