Get on board and pledge your Carbon Emission Power

If you want to show you are doing your bit for the environment, you can!  A site has been set up by Birmingham Environmental Partnership to encourage the people of Birmingham to pledge what they promise to do to ensure their lifestyles are greener. The site will then calculate from the information provided what the promised action equates to in terms of a C02 level. 

The city is working towards its goal of cutting carbon emissions by 60% by 2026 and this scheme will help the city reach its goal if enough people pledge their support and will power to stick to what they promise.

Cllr Paul Tilsley, Chairman of the Be Birmingham partnership, said:

“Whether you live or work in the city or both the birminghamcuttingco2 website gives you ways to focus you green efforts.

Everyone has a role to play in cutting carbon emissions and the benefits are huge – saving money on fuel bills and improving the environment in terms of reduced emissions being the most significant.

It only takes a few minutes to pledge and I would encourage people to take a few moments out of their time because the end result is well worth it.”

Government, business and voluntary sector organisations are all working together on this initiative to ensure to the best outcomes in 2026, and the best possible outcomes for the city and our environment now.

New figures on where we are at, at this stage are due to be announced during Climate Change Festival, which begins on Saturday 5^th June.
