14 ways to live a more sustainable lifestyle
Cotswold District Council has collaborated with West Oxfordshire District Council and Forest of Dean District Council to produce a Net Zero Carbon Toolkit. Funded through the Local Government Association (LGA) Housing Advisers Programme, the Net Zero Carbon Toolkit is a practical, easy to follow guide to help plan a net zero housing project.
The toolkit also provides homeowners looking to retrofit or extend their existing property, guidance and advice on what they need to consider and how they can implement energy efficiency measures and begin the process of decarbonising their homes in a more affordable, phased approach.
Implementing the measures laid out in the new toolkit will help reduce the carbon footprint of new and existing buildings.
