At the end of March the new Carbon Co-op Manual was launched at an event in Moss Side. It contains hints and tips on saving energy as well as an outline of how people can work together to achieve bulk purchase savings.

Innovation agency NESTA has been supporting the Carbon Co-op’s development over the past few years. Now they’ve produced a report looking at ways to galvanise community-led responses to climate change, recommending government be more active in creating the conditions within which community leadership can flourish.
The report demonstrates lessons for UK government climate change policy, drawing on communities’ experience of NESTA’s Big Green Challenge which has funded Carbon Co-op. There’s some excellent practical recommendations in there and it’s good to see the grassroots approaches to tackling climate change being championed at a high level.
Download and read the report here.
