We've just launched The Carbon Account. This is a new kind of online carbon calculator, designed to give its users a precise, ongoing record of their emissions from gas and electricity meter readings, car mileages, flights and more. We built it with the idea that we could demonstrate the technical feasibility of personal carbon allocations (see Hillman and Monbiot), and now it's available for free in the hope that it will spread carbon literacy and help people make the right decisions about reducing their emissions. more...

We're launching a Carbon Rationing Action Group for the Wychwood area on Thursday, January 17th, 2008. During this first session, we should agree what direct emissions we'll record, our annual CO₂ target and the penalties/rewards we'll pay for carbon debtors/creditors. I want to do real trading. Please come if you live within 15 miles of Charlbury, Oxfordshire, UK: 8pm at The Bell.
