Carbon Footprints
Park Ecovillage Trust has a collaboration with Carbon Footprint Ltd who has a free-to-use calculator. Both individuals/households and businesses can use it for calculating the total carbon footprints over a year or just to for a particular emission, eg. flights. The calculator has a function which allows you to Carbon Offset.

The calculator is easy to use. If you use the Comment box, you will remember next time what you included in each Category and how you got the data.
Carbon Offsetting
As part of our Net Zero strategy, we recommend everyone in the Findhorn community offset their carbon emissions as a way of taking responsibility for emissions that have not been reduced.
To calculate and offset you can use the link to Carbon Footprint. Instead of having the carbon calculator and offsetting service on our website we now connect you directly to our climate partner.
Carbon Fooprint has a large number of certified offsetting projects to choose from.
We also recommend all organisations and individuals in the community whose guests travel longer distances to Findhorn Ecovillage to offset their travel emissions, especially where flying is included.

Carbon Action Group
PET invites residents in the Park who want to explore how their individual and household carbon emissions can come down. The Carbon Action Group will be aligned with the efforts for the community to reach net-zero. The Carbon Action group participants will hopefully spread their insights and solutions and inspire others. New groups will follow if the first is successful. At the same time other initiatives should take place to align Park organisations and businesses with the net-zero goal. The programme will also bring up the possibility that all efforts to save our planet from being too warm is in vain. The project will be based on the fundamental community principle of being part of nature, seeking higher guidance and using ourselves to change the world.
