about Fair Shares, Fair Choice

your carbon share...your carbon choices!

There's a strong consensus about the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions we need to stay within to avoid really extreme climate change. Whilst world leaders negotiate a global plan, scientific evidence, economic reports and weird weather suggest we've got to 'get on with it' now!

Fair Shares, Fair Choice (FSFC) can help you to stop being part of the climate problem and start being part of the low carbon solution - whether it's as an individual, a workplace or a community group. There are lots of other benefits to gain along the way too.

FSFC has used a CO2 reduction model called Contraction & Convergence (C&C) to calculate a ‘fair carbon share’ for every person who lives in the UK, along with an overall budget (see the UK Budget). 2009's fair carbon share for individuals is 3.9 tonnes. At a current average of nearer 5 tonnes (excluding carbon hefty international flights and cruises!) many of us are already in the red. To be on target to meet 2017’s budget (2.9 tonnes) we need to reduce our carbon spending by about a third.

Through FSFC you can explore how to make your carbon budget go further and share your ‘carb-cutting’ stories. Joining the FSFC campaign is a way to show your support for the principle of living within a globally fair and safe share of CO2 emissions. Sign up today to add your voice to the campaign.

FSFC supporters can claim a free, exclusive carbon card showing their budget for 2009 through until 2017 - visit 'cool stuff' to request your card!

Taking carb-cutting action now gives you and the planet a head start! Go to act now to meet our virtual ‘carbon coaches’, calculate your carbon footprint, take personal carb-busting challenges and browse resources for your business, public agency, organisation, community group or school.
