Locking up our carbon in The National Forest

Most of us are increasingly concerned about climate change. This section describes how supporting the creation of The National Forest is one of many positive steps you could take towards reducing the effects of climate change.

In this section you can navigate your guide (the little person above) around the main board.

We all have a part to play!

The creation of The National Forest can be sensibly regarded as a move in the right direction. Supporting the Forest, in any way, is a worthwhile step to take towards reducing atmospheric carbon. However, mitigation is only part of the solution. We all need to choose a less energy-consuming lifestyle if the effects of global warming are to be confronted.

The Government has also developed a carbon calculator for individuals and households.
