Dates when a giant carbon bubble will be visiting Staffordshire have been released.
The countywide tour, which aims to help raise awareness of climate change is being led by Staffordshire County Council in partnership with Staffordshire’s eight district and borough councils. It’s all part of plans to help the county reduce its carbon footprint and get to net zero by 2050.
The 10-meter bright orange installation will help people to visualize the impact of their daily activities and carbon emissions. When visiting the bubble, people will also get the chance to meet staff from the climate change team for advice on the changes they can make to help the environment.
The tour will be visiting Leek Market Place on Saturday 24th June.
The tour is being supported by the Staffordshire Sustainability Board. The board is made up of leaders and chief executives from across Staffordshire’s nine councils that have all come together to tackle climate change in Staffordshire.
The tour is designed to be as low carbon as possible. The bubble itself is inflated using a generator run using sustainable and environmentally friendly fuel, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil. Furthermore, the emissions generated from transporting the bubble have been offset, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.
Further details on the tour and what people can do to help tackle climate change is available at Carbon Bubble Tour – Staffordshire County Council.
