Calculating your business's carbon footprint

CAfS is delighted to announce that we have a new carbon footprint calculator that is available to any small or medium sized business in Cumbria or Lancashire. The calculator is free to use and can be found on our website. It has been funded by South Lakeland District Council. 

Carbon footprinting is one of the most useful tools we have in our fight for the planet as it allows us to find out what scale of change we each need to make as individuals and organisations. Knowing what target we are aiming for gives us all the chance to make plans and pledges that will actually be effective in securing a future for our businesses.

This event will go into detail on why it is useful to calculate your carbon footprint and will talk businesses through how to use the calculator.  

We will be hearing from: 

  • Molly Hogg, from Cumbria Action for Sustainability, who has been working with our developer, Carbon Footprint Ltd, to create our version of their calculator.  

  • Chris Hodgson, from Ambleside Action for a Future, who has worked alongside Molly on the calculator’s development. Together, they are promoting carbon footprinting in Ambleside as part of the Ambleside to Zero project.  

We are also running the same event for our residential version of the calculator on Thursday 11th March at 7pm. The two calculators are very similar, so if you can’t attend this event, feel free to join the other one. Alternatively, email us for a link to the recording of this event.”
