Small changes make a big difference and that’s exactly what the borough
council would like you to think about as part of its new Make a Pledge
initiative.
Whether it’s choosing to leave the car at home and walk, turning the TV off
instead of leaving it on standby or washing your clothes at 30 degrees – your
individual pledge will combine to make a big difference in the borough’s battle
against climate change.
The Make a Pledge initiative aims to encourage people to think about the small
changes they can make to their lives that will not only reduce carbon emissions
in the borough but can also save you money.
The campaign follows the launch of the borough council’s Climate Change Strategy
which sets a number of clear objectives from reducing CO2 emissions in the
borough council’s own buildings to helping residents prepare and plan for the
impacts of climate change. At the heart of the strategy is the reduction of
carbon emissions across the borough and the Make a Pledge campaign aims to
tackle this head on by encouraging people to sign up to a greener way of
thinking.
