Warwickshire County Council is calling on all residents to show their support for a new campaign that aims to raise awareness of the impact that individuals have on the planet’s changing climate.

Residents are encouraged to pledge to do one thing to reduce their own carbon footprint – the amount of CO2 they are responsible for as individuals – over the coming weeks, months and years.

Residents are encouraged to think of their own pledges that will help to make a difference.  Some possible examples could be:

• I pledge to use active travel (walking/cycling) for journeys under 3 miles;
• I pledge to recycle more of my waste packaging;
• I pledge to buy my gas and electricity from suppliers providing 100% renewable energy;
• I pledge to improve the energy efficiency of my home.

Residents are encouraged to take a picture of themselves holding their pledge and Tweet it to :@Warwickshire_CC or to @Warwickshire County Council on Facebook using Hashtag: #WarksClimatePledge. Alternatively, pictures can be sent to: climateemergency@warwickshire.gov.uk

These pledges will be used on the Warwickshire Climate Emergency Website, in the media and as part of climate change events in 2022.
