Calculating a carbon footprint at St.Barnabas Church
CCF members donated wonderful tombola prizes for the Mill Rd Winter Fair stall on 6 December. Christmas shoppers got a welcome sitdown in the warm while their CO2 emissions were measured and their children coloured in footprints. Thankyou to St Barnabas Church for making us so welcome.

The frist of the six Akashi posters
The Akashi posters have been shown at a number of venues around the city and beyond, most recently at the Centre at St Paul’s. Colourful, accessible and inspiring, they feature a diverse range of Cambridge people talking about climate change, their lives and what they are doing to reduce their impact on our fragile environment. If your organisation would like to exhibit the posters or borrow them to use at an event, please get in touch with the office.

Children make posters showing how they can be energy wizards
25 children made Energy Wizards posters, showing what they can do about climate change at the Young People’s Multi-Cutural Event at Arbury Community Centre on Sunday 23rd November. “Parents – turn stuff off!” wrote one of our winners. We agree! The Akashi posters were also on display at this friendly, welcoming event. Thank you to Cambridge Ethnic Community Forum for organising this and inviting us to attend.

A hands-on demonstration from Keith
30 reduction network members packed Ross St community centre on November 17th for a Grow-Your-Own session with local allotment expert Keith Jordan.

Carbon Conversation Group discussing insulation.
10 Carbon footprint groups got off the ground this autumn, meeting in a variety of venues round the city and nearby villages. The non-judgmental atmosphere and friendly support help people make significant reductions in their carbon emissions.
I have a new sense of common purpose and much more a feeling of belonging.
My gas & elec bill’s have gone way down
It was really wonderful to just get together with people and talk about what we were all doing, in a non-judgmental and non-competitive way.
Changed my way of understanding where the carbon footprint from food comes from
