How green is your valley?
Welcome to the Mole Valley sustainability zone, you have already taken the first step in tackling climate change.

Here in Mole Valley we all recognise that climate change is a very real issue that we face today. It is no longer about "if", but about "when". However, the WWF tell us that if we all make essential changes to the way we do things we can still avert global disaster.

If we in Mole Valley continue to use resources at the rate we do, we would need 3.70 Planet Earth's per person to support us. The national average is 3 Planet Earth's per person view more here

Here on the sustainability zone, you can work out your eco footprint on the eco calculator, pledge to take action, find out about changes you can make to reduce your footprint and see what the council is doing to tackle climate change.
