About this site

We are the ones who are making the environmental mess that is slowly killing the planet, and now it is up to us to clear it up before it is too late. Here, EDP24 examines how an ambitious Norfolk project called CRed will lead the way, not just for the rest of the country, but the world.

In association with the Forum for the Future, we have put together this website which tries to explain the importance of individuals doing their bit for the environment.

Forum’s fast-track Masters Programme in Leadership for Sustainable Development has meant we have been able to use one of their students - Kate Atkinson - to research this innovative project called CRed.

Launched in June 2003, it aims to put Norfolk firmly on the environmentally friendly map of the world.

Based at the highly respected School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia the project seeks to encourage companies, organisations and ordinary people to cut the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere to the amount of 60pc by 2025.

How to use this site
Each section - What, How, Why - attempts to answer the questions relating to carbon reduction.

Within each section are sub-sections which further develope the arguments for cutting the amount of CO2 emitted.

While users can move easily between sections, you are advised to study each part of the site in sequence to get the most of the research.
