About Horsleys' C.A.N.
We All Need to Play Our Part
Horsleys' C.A.N. (Climate Action Network) is a community group originally established as a joint East and West Horsley Parish Councils initiative. The group now acts as an independent community group, with the full backing of the parish councils.
Horsleys' C.A.N. aims to raise climate change awareness across the villages and to identify actions that we can all take to help work towards achieving the national net zero carbon emissions targets set for 2030 and 2050.
The group currently comprises local volunteers and members of each parish council who have a particular interest in different aspects of climate change and the environment. Members of the Youth Council are also involved with the group and are looking at projects that families can take part in at home to involve all ages. Our objectives are to:
- Raise awareness of what we can all do to reduce carbon emissions and our carbon footprint
- Communicate ideas and opportunities that we can adopt to minimise our impact on the environment
- Identify and promote opportunities to increase biodiversity within the village

Carbon Footprint Calculator
Everyone has an environmental footprint. It comes from all the things we do that have an impact on our planet - the energy we use, the things we buy, the food we eat. The World Wildlife Fund has created an online footprint calculator.
