Carbon rationing action groups (CRAGs) are groups of people who agree to measure their carbon (dioxide) use. They also agree on an upper limit for the year, and a per-tonne levy for anyone exceeding it. As the twelve months pass them by, they meet, chat, swap tips and advice, and generally try to meet the targets. There may, God willing, be good-natured joshing. And once that’s all over and done with, they do it all again next year, but: with a lower upper limit. And so on.
Tom Dyson is starting a CRAG for the Wychwood area: that is, more or less anywhere within around fifteen miles of Charlbury in West Oxfordshire. If you’re interested, and you live in Witney, Eynsham, Burford, Chipping Norton, Kidlington, Woodstock, Stow-on-the-Wold, Hook Norton… then come along. It might change your way of life.
