Several members of the The Green Mole Forum have joined in the Mole Valley carbon trading scheme - a pilot (dare I say pioneer) project run by the RSA. The idea behind personal carbon allowances is outlined in a book by Mayer Hillman called “How we can save the planet”. It's not too late to join the project - contact us or MVDC if you would like more information.

This book is worth a read for the other points it contains too.

'Climate change is the single biggest problem that humankind has ever had to face. Yet politicians cannot agree a framework for tackling it effectively and meanwhile we continue with lifestyles that are way beyond the planet's limits. Here Mayer Hillman explains the real issues we should focus on: what the government is doing, what role technology can play and, above all, why we must act now to protect our planet for later generations. Challenging, stimulating and practical, How We Can Save the Planet is the essential guide to help you understand how we can safeguard our future.'
