“As a result of PACT, I was able to see how much carbon I was using on my car. I decided to stop driving to work and I took up cycling instead.” Marie Jones, Consultant
“At home I bought a real time energy meter. This gives me better information on where the energy is actually being used. I am also thinking more about the impact of flights that I take.” Louise Wood, Senior Consultant
