What is a carbon coach?
In July 2005 I left a near perfect job, Director of a successful consultancy (ABS consulting) to set up in business as The Carbon Coach. My mission (and it is mission possible!) is to coach celebs and influential individuals: to help them prosper and feel good by shrinking their lifestyle carbon footprint for real (the tonnage of carbon dioxide emissions that their households travel and energy is responsible for.) I hold their hand while they change a (energy efficient) light bulb!

How does it work?
I aim to rapidly raise peoples awareness of their direct carbon impacts on the environment. The people I coach actively want to change, but are busy and dont know where to start. I usually arrange to meet them at their home, and quickly assess their carbon footprint from energy bills, travel data â “ a few simple questions. Then I will discuss with them the ways they have considered reducing it â “ at this initial stage its very broad-brush stuff.

Who is using a carbon coach?
There are plenty of chief executives, company directors, politicians, celebs, neighbours even, who want to know their carbon footprint â “ their tonnage. I also provide this same carbon advice for a business, and for its employees.
When individuals commit to making a difference in their home lifestyle, and experience the joy of shedding a tonne or two, first hand, they go on to positively influence their corporate situation..
What size should somebodyâ ™s carbon footprint be?
Wherever you start is ok. After all, most of us are living in ignorance of the number. The top-down average carbon footprint for each of us in the UK is about 11 tonnes per year. (Total UK tonnes divided by population.) The 50 % of the footprint that I focus on is home energy and home travel. This bit averages around 5 tonnes p.a. per person. The lifestyle of a captain of industry however, is such that a footprint as high as 60 tonnes is perfectly common.

nothing deadlier than the company of someone whos a carbon copy of someone else. I just try not to be too frivolous about it.

Outcomes can be simple, such as a change of car or switching to a green electricity tariff that guarantees the electricity comes from renewable sources, or they can be a bit trickier. But changes get to happen. Part of what I bring is urgency and tenacity. The problem (climate change) isnt going to go away â “ so why should I!
Have you changed your lifestyle?
Yea, but compared to some Im a late developer. I didnt take my personal impact on the environment anywhere near seriously enough until about five years ago. Now my five-bedroom house in Marlow has a solar panel (thermal and PV, so totally autonomous), a light-pipe, super-insulation, whole house MVHR ventilation, passive-solar conservatory and a wood-burning stove. My family of six has a combined carbon footprint of 9 tonnes â “ including our two cars and all holiday travel. 1.5 tonnes each.
Carbon Coaching is a huge opportunity. Basically, by 2050 every UK citizen needs to have slimmed down from 5 tonnes a year to around 0.5 tonne â “ or were stuffed. So we need a lot of coaches, and a lot of coaching. And the best way to learn is to practice on yourself!
Kinda neat huh?!
