Biggar are aiming for a carbon neutral future
Biggar, a town with a population of 2,000, has just announced its plans to become Scotland’s first carbon-neutral community. They plan to grow their own food, create their own electricity and recycle more.
Scientists from Edinburgh University have agreed to help Biggar establish its current carbon footprint and the town’s two schools, church and several businesses have also committed their support to the bold ambition. The organisers are working cooperatively with the Cheshire village of Ashton Hayes which is also trying to become a carbon neutral community.
