The revolution starts here!

Help us reduce Bollington's carbon footprint

The Bollington Carbon Revolution is a small group of local active volunteers who believe that their town can be a part of the new carbon revolution, driven by the voluntary sector at a local level.

Our aim is simple. We have come together with the over-arching aim of reducing our town's carbon footprint.

Bollington, located in the Northwest of England, was at the heart of the industrial revolution, which brought about the increase in carbon emissions which are widely acclaimed to be responsible for climate change. We would like to be a part of the new carbon revolution which needs to happen at a similar rate of change, bringing about significant reductions in carbon emissions

Thinking of joining us? Find out more....projects for 2009 include eco refurbishing the old toliet block in Bollington, a hydropower project, thermal imaging for town residents, an ecorefurbishment course and much more!
