Your carbon footprint

The reason many of us use the train to commute to work(FGW permitting) is to reduce the environmental impact, or carbon footprint, of our journey. However despite our good intentions our priviledged lifestyles still result in high levels of carbom being generated.

There are many schemes available whereby we can calculate our carbon footprint and donate money to environmental projects to mitigate this. However many of these projects are overseas and it is difficult for individauls to see the impact of their donations.

An alternative is to donate to local projects. One such is the Primrose Hill Community Woodland Trust in Bath. This is a new woodland of 24 acres and 20,000 trees of 45 different varieties on the northern slopes of Bath.

Please visit the website, the wood and consider making a regular donation to offset your carbon footprint.
