Carbon Footprint

We Asked

We asked Wirral Residents to find out their carbon footprint using the WWF Footprint Calculator and tell us their results. We also asked for postcodes so the results could be averaged by ward.

You Said

76 people told us their carbon footprint. The highest average carbon footprint was 11.2 tonnes in the West Kirby and Thurstaston ward, followed by 11.1 tonnes in the Upton ward, and 10.9 tonnes in the Bidston and St. James ward. The lowest average carbon footprint was 7.1 tonnes in the Eastham ward. The full results can be seen on the Carbon Footprint project page.

We Did

The results will be shared with Cool Wirral and will help us to see where the greatest sources of emissions are in each area and how to direct our resources to best support communities to reduce them.
