4: Measuring Descent - Carbon Rationing Action Groups:There are two ways in which Exeter’s Carbon Descent can be measured:A: The Government produces annual CO2 emissions for Local Authorities together with estimated indicator targets (N186). See website http://www.decc.gov.uk/en/content/cms/statistics/climate_change/data/data.aspx This aspect of measurement is discussed in more detail in section 1 - Target. B: Individuals can measure their own carbon emissions by joining Carbon Rationing Action Groups (CRAGs). See http://www.carbonrationing.org.uk CRAGs carry out measurement of CO2 emissions from Gas and Electricity consumption together with Car, Public Transport and Air Travel emissions. 
At the moment there is one CRAG in Exeter (see above). See http://www.carbonrationing.org.uk/exeter We believe that a large number of pilot CRAGs should be set up throughout Exeter as a network supported by a community website, with the support from Exeter City Council and from existing CRAGs themselves. The annual CO2 emissions from these CRAGs could be collated and used as an index of how Exeter is progressing towards its target. |
