Who are we? Why do we care so much about helping people reduce carbon emissions? We met at the end of 2020 when we were both working for a local authority in Wales. We quickly realised that we had some key things in common; care and consideration for living as impact-free as possible.
Work diverged, but we didn't stop sharing tricks to reducing our carbon footprints.We wanted to share our passion more widely bringing as many people as possible along.
When we decided to embark on this journey we knew that we had to practice what we preach. We couldn't tell you to reduce your emissions if we hadn't done everything we could to reduce ours.
Every decision has been made with carbon in mind. From Website layout (we never want to talk about fonts again) to who we bank with, we've endeavoured to make the best choices for our footprint and the planet.
In a nutshell, we:
planitgreenHeather, having previously worked running a pub and in zero waste retail, began working in decarbonisation for a local authority and became even more immersed measuring emissions and project managing decarbonisation action plans.
She focuses on all aspects of decarbonisation including reducing emissions, producing renewable energy and offsetting emissions.
Heather is an ardent purest at metrics and doesn't want you to waste time or money on anything approaching Greenwashing.
Heather is Vegan but, as a proponent of Progress not Perfection, is also a believer in Cheesemas.

Louise's background is Psychology and Mental Health, so she cares about all the hurdles to making these changes you are facing.
She dabbles in all things geeky and IT and before you know it she will be investigating your source code for Carbon wins.
Cheeky.
Louise, also a lover of numbers, challenged herself to get the carbon footprint of her family of 6 as close to zero as possible. This involved being a Purchase Vegan, using Olio and making her own laundry detergent.
Ask her about this at a consultation. Actually don't.
