Oh Yes Net Zero campaign

Can our city change the world?

Every person and organisation on the planet has a carbon footprint. A carbon footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced directly (e.g. driving your car) and indirectly (e.g. eating foods, which require the food to be grown and transported) to support a person’s lifestyle and activities.

Collectively, our carbon emissions are contributing to the rise in global temperatures and climate change¹. Simple changes to the way we live - from what we eat, to how we travel and even what we feed our pets, can really help drive down those emissions and have a positive impact on our planet- especially when we do it together.

Did you know that, out of the six largest industrial clusters in the UK, the Humber is responsible for around 37% of CO2 emissions in the UK?²

This means that our region has a real chance to make a difference. And, with domestic emissions generally making up around 27% of the UK’s total³, we all have an important role to play.

If every person, business, and organisation in our region signs up to this campaign and makes even small changes to what they do every day, then it will have a meaningful impact not just on where we live and work, but on the whole UK, and maybe even the world by inspiring others to do the same.
