Taking shorter, and colder showers can save both water and energy. back Town Hall Message The Council recognises the importance on leading the way to reduce its own carbon emissions and to enable and inspire action across the Borough. Success will require the council to work in partnership with a wide range of partners and all the residents of the borough. back CornPlant Message Shopping local and seasonal produce can help support our local farmers as well as reducing emissions on imported foods back Cyclist Message Switching to active travel such as cycling can help reduce congestion in your area, as well as helping increase your health and wellbeing! back Recycle Message Recycling is one of the easiest ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Did you know that recycling aluminium uses 95% less energy than producing aluminium from raw materials? back Drink Message The UK throws away around 2.5 billion coffee cups every year!
