Dunscore Parish Church help local housholders calculate their carbon footprints

In March 2012 and March 2013 the Dunscore Parish Church congregation and community were asked if they would like to read their electricity meters, car mileages, oil tanks etc. and the Eco Group offered to use the readings to calculate household “Carbon Footprints”. 

This is the end of the first full year and the participating households now have the data and can compare with others.  They can use the information to work out where they might be able to reduce their impact on the environment.

You can access a summary of the data collected by clicking on this: http://www.cairnvalleycalling.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Carbon-Footprint-Summary-Web.pdf
