When more voices shape solutions, those solutions last longer, reach further, and work better. Let’s make sure the transition to a fairer, greener future isn’t built for communities, but with them. ➡ Explore how inclusion strengthens climate impact at carboncopy.eco.

Inclusion should be intentional. Read through the myths shaping climate decisions and what we can do differently.

A movement that leaves people out isn’t a movement. Here are four practical starting points to make climate action more inclusive where you live. Little steps change big systems!

As the year draws to a close, we want to pause and say thank you to everyone who has taken action for climate and nature, often quietly, locally, and without fanfare. A special thank you to all the incredible people and projects we’ve had the privilege to feature this year.💚

In our latest podcast episode, we explore what it means to take action together — and why hope grows when people connect. 🎧 Hear our full conversation w/ Black2Nature founder Mya-Rose & Working Class Climate Alliance Director Emma River-Roberts.

From rooftop solar to battery storage and EVs, communities are already reshaping the system from the ground up. Decentralised energy is the future. Explore the Big Local Actions page on carboncopy.eco and find examples you can copy in your area.

Decentralised energy isn’t experimental is already happening. From street-level energy sharing to smart local energy systems powered by renewables, towns and cities across the UK are moving away from the centralised model. What starts locally can shape the future of the grid. #DecentralisedEnergy

A smarter energy future won’t come from one big switch, it will come from thousands of local ones. When communities start generating, storing and sharing energy locally, bills fall, emissions drop and resilience rises. #SmartEnergy #CommunityEnergy #EnergySecurity #NetZero

Power doesn’t have to travel hundreds of miles to reach our homes. Decentralised energy brings generation, storage and use into towns and cities, making energy cleaner, fairer and more affordable. #DecentralisedEnergy #SmartLocalEnergy #EnergyTransition #DoSomethingBigger

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we explore what happens when communities rethink energy from the ground up — and why a local, connected approach could be the future of our power system. 🎧Listen now and power the change!

Community hubs are reimagining empty spaces as places to repair, share, learn and build a sense of belonging. When people come together to create, fix and collaborate, they turn local spaces into living, thriving neighbourhoods. #CommunityHubs #LibraryOfThings #SharingEconomy

Most community hubs begin with what already exists: unused rooms, volunteer energy and shared purpose. You don’t need a new building — just a place to bring people together. #MythBusting #CommunityHubs #ClimateEmergencyCentres #LowCarbonCommunities

Unused spaces are opportunities waiting to be unlocked. Start small, build together, and see how quickly a hub becomes the beating heart of local climate action. #CommunityAction #CommunityHubs #SharingEconomy #ClimateSolutions

Across the UK, Climate Emergency Centres and Sharing Spaces are showing how vacant buildings can become thriving social spaces — bringing people together to learn skills, repair items, host events, grow ideas and build more resilient neighbourhoods. #CommunityHubs #ClimateAction #SharingSpaces

Low-carbon heating is about building a warmer, healthier, more resilient future. #CleanHeat #HeatPumps #LowCarbonHeating #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity #DoSomethingBigger

Heat pumps are one of the most misunderstood climate solutions. In reality, they’re reliable, efficient, and proven in countries much colder than the UK. #CleanHeat #LowCarbonHeating #EnergyTransition

Heating doesn’t have to be expensive and it doesn’t have to rely on fossil fuels. Small steps at home + bigger steps together = lower energy costs for everyone. #CleanHeat #CommunityEnergy #WarmerHomes #EnergySecurity #HeatPumps #LowCarbonHeating #DoSomethingBigger #LowerBills

Excellent work from our #25BigLocalActions campaign partners Climate Emergency UK. This report is so important and the result of so much hard work and dedication by the amazing volunteers who support the scoring process.

Switching from gas to clean, low-carbon heat lowers emissions and transforms our homes. 🌍 Learn more about how clean heat is reshaping the UK’s energy future on carboncopy.eco #LowCarbonHeating #CleanHeat #EnergyTransition #RetrofitRevolution

The most environmentally friendly product is the one you didn’t buy.” — Joshua Becker Would you borrow instead of buy if it were easier in your community? #BorrowDontBuy #Minimalism #SharingEconomy #ClimateAction #SustainableLiving

Borrowing isn’t just for books! 🔄 #BorrowDontBuy #SharingEconomy #SustainableLiving

♻️ Your Borrowing Action Plan — Save this! 🌿 Step 1: Borrow before you buy 🚗 Step 2: Share bigger items 🤝 Step 3: Start a sharing movement The fewer things we buy, the less we waste — and the more we save together. 🌍 #SustainableChoices #BorrowingIsBetter #ClimateAction

🔄 Do you really need to own everything you use? From drills to sewing machines, the average household owns dozens of items we barely use, wasting money, resources, and carbon. Instead of buying new, borrowing helps us save money and cut waste. #BorrowDontBuy #SharingEconomy #ClimateAction

Every time you choose local, you’re not just supporting farmers, you’re nourishing your community and helping create a healthier, more resilient food system. ✨ Fresh food. Stronger communities. A thriving planet. #LocalFood #ClimateAction #EatSeasonal #SustainableLiving #CommunityPower

Let’s set the record straight on local food!

Want to make a difference with what you eat? 🥦 Here’s your Local Food Action Checklist! Every small action adds up. Your next meal can be good for you, your community, and the planet. 🌍 #ClimateAction #EatLocal #SustainableChoices

Did you know the average meal travels 1,500+ miles before it reaches your plate? Choosing food produced closer to home is one of the simplest ways to cut your carbon footprint — and it tastes better too! Local where possible, nearby when necessary.
