We aim to:

- Over 140 tonnes of CO2 from 36 households participating in the Low Carbon LIiing PRogramme - a cut of an incredible 36% in one year
- 80 tonnes of CO2 from the introduction of 2 street cars in the locality which are used by around 170 people
- 64 tonnes of CO2 from the planting of around 640 new trees
As well reducing C02 emissions LCWO’s projects also generate social and economic benefits including;
financial savings from reduced energy bills, access to expert advice and grants, training, etc.
