Green Kent

World Environment Day 2008

Our climate is changing. And the choices we make need to change too. Making the right choices now can slow climate change down and - just as importantly - we can get ready for it.

At the Environment Agency's Stand Up To Climate Change website (link opens in a new window) you can say how you will get ready for climate change.

What are we doing?

Kent County Council is committed to protecting and enhancing the environment. We believe that every one can make a difference.

We are:

• working with the Carbon Trust to improve the energy efficiency of our council buildings
• encouraging our staff to be more environmentally responsible through our staff engagement programme
• helping schools to improve their environment through Eco-Schools in Kent
• creating Low Carbon Communities to reduce Kent residents' carbon footprints
• aiming to make Kent a cleaner county with the Clean Kent Campaign
• using WRAP's "Love Food, Hate Waste" campaign to reduce Kent's food waste.

You can read our case studies about how we're making a difference.
