The first question we invariably find ourselves asking when it comes to cutting personal carbon emissions is "What do I need to do?" But hard on this questions’ heels comes the crunch question "How hard is this going to be?"

Going Carbon Neutral Stirling has devised a model of reduction which helps us get to where we need to be, trying to avoid it being emotionally stressful and economically hard. Remember, the sooner we start, the smaller the cut each year. We’re looking at a preferred 9% cut in emissions each year. Our model is based on the hypothesis that carbon reduction uses 3 types of change:

EASY

SACRIFICIAL

INFRASTRUCTURAL – requiring council and government support
