Every action leaves a Changeprint. A Changeprint is the collective impact created when people join with others to make something happen. It’s visible proof that collaboration works and that local climate action improves daily life. A Changeprint isn’t the project itself. It’s the sum of all the good it generates: stronger connections, healthier environments, shared learning, local pride and a growing sense of belonging. Where a carbon footprint measures what we take away, a Changeprint shows what we can build together.  


Listen or watch now, to hear why Carbon Copy is launching Changeprint now, and how it will help more people turn their concern for climate and nature into collective impact.

In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we speak to three guests who are looking to disrupt the status quo and empower people to collectively generate and use electricity within communities. We speak to artist and filmmaker Hilary Powell about her project Power Station, which saw many of the houses on her road in East London installing solar panels on their rooftops. We speak to Kayla Ente, MBE, about the work of BHESCo, which is helping communities across Brighton & Hove and beyond to decarbonise, and we meet Gareth Davies, whose organisation Aquatera led the ReFLEX Orkney project; a pioneering initiative connecting the dots between local energy generation and use on the Orkney Islands. 


Listen now to hear: 


  • What inspired Hilary and her partner Dan to create Power Station. 
  • What the current legislation is and why it is still challenging to break free from the grid. 
  • What BHESCo is doing to help more people have access to renewable energy generation at no upfront cost. 
  • How the original ambition of the ReFLEX Orkney programme has faces challenges with outdated policy and systems. 
  • What communities can do to maximise the benefits of local power generation.

We learn how growing together is helping to overcome social isolation and is helping wellbeing for both volunteers and participants. We also speak to Nature Neighbourhoods Programme Manager Rory Crawford, of the National Trust, to understand more about how the initiative came to be, and the aims and aspirations for the three major nature organisations that lead the programme: National Trust, RSPB and WWF-UK. 


Listen to learn: 


  • Why nature conservation doesn’t need to be the primary focus for urban gardening and growing projects to be beneficial. 
  • How the Nature Neighbourhoods programme is empowering and supporting community organisations to keep doing what they do best at a local level. 
  • What keeps participants and volunteers coming back to these inspiring projects every week. 
  • How local and grassroots projects can still have a massive impact.

The impacts of climate change are wide-ranging, but here in the UK, where none of us lives more than 70 miles from the sea, bigger winter storms, heavy rain and increased wave power create serious coastal flooding risks for huge numbers of people. In the North East of England, an innovative partnership of organisations, led by South Tyneside Council, is working on a programme of work exploring natural solutions to reducing this flood risk. In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast, we meet Karen Daglish, Delivery Manager at the Stronger Shores programme, to learn more about this inspiring, collaborative initiative. We also meet Judy Power, Project Manager at Tees Rivers Trust, one of the partner organisations working with the programme, and learn about the incredible, painstaking work they’re doing grow and protect seagrass and wild oysters in the Tees Estuary. 


Listen to learn about: 


  • The long-term goals and ambition of the Stronger Shores programme. 
  • The amazing potential of wild oysters to filter water and sequester carbon. 
  • The reason that seagrass is such an important species – and why it is under threat. 
  • How engagement activities across the North East are helping more people locally to appreciate and understand the natural species on their shores.

Welcome to the last episode of Copy This (the first season of the Carbon Copy Podcast) where we throw the spotlight on big thinking, local climate action. 


When was the last time you tried to get your mobile phone or laptop repaired? Chances are that it was impossible but all too easy to buy a replacement instead. This year, the weight of electronic waste produced globally will equal that of the Great Wall of China because repair is so difficult and obsolescence is built into many electronic goods, by design. 


But how is repairing and reuse even possible when the throwaway culture is so deeply rooted in our economy? The Fixing Factory is a new project with a fresh approach that not only makes repair and reuse a reality, it’s also applying lateral thinking so electronic ‘waste’ can benefit local communities in as many ways as possible. 


In this episode, Fiona Dear of The Restart Project and Emma Beal of West London Waste Authority describe The Fixing Factory’s drive to not only give broken laptops a new lease of life, but to use them to tackle digital inequality, train the fixers of the future, provide training and employment opportunities, as well as create a project blueprint that could be replicated around the UK.

The longest non-stop relay ever attempted is starting in October 2022, over 7200km from Glasgow in Scotland to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt, in the name of climate action. Community leaders, school children and neighbours will pass a relay baton hand-to-hand across 18 countries and show the world what we can achieve if we work together. An extraordinary challenge, requiring extraordinary effort, to achieve extraordinary change.


Listen to Danny Bent, cofounder of The World Relay, about what we hope to accomplish! What better way to represent the unity and strength we wish to see from today's leaders than an inclusive relay linking together thousands of inspiring climate action projects?


Spoiler alert: We did it and made a world record at the same time!!! The United Nations' convention, UNFCCC, recognised our effort as one of the most significant events in the build up to climate summit. Over 4,500 people participated across 18 countries. We drew huge media attention, with a UK reach of over 17 million and millions more across the entire route. And we delivered an important climate message, endorsed by 825,760 people, to the leaders at the global climate summit in Egypt (COP27), urging more support to help people tackle the climate crisis locally where they live.

Welcome to Copy This - the first series of the Carbon Copy Podcast - where we throw the spotlight on big thinking local climate action. In this episode, the inspiration is provided by Energy Garden, a co-operative which has helped over 130 communities create gardens at overground railway stations across London. Not only has this re-connected residents with nature and food growing, increasing local pride in the process, it’s also improved the wellbeing of passengers plus delivered a whole range of community benefits valued at an estimated £11.35 of social return for every £1 spent. 


Join Agamemnon Otero, CEO of Energy Garden, and Charlotte Whitfield, Customer Service Director for Arriva Rail London, to discover how they’ve grown community energy and their keys to success, including how they’ve utilised solar power as an income generator to fund this innovative work.

We’re joined by two key members of the partnership’s team - Lee Pitcher and Andrew Barron - who share insights into the challenges and triumphs of flood mitigation and adaptation in one of the UK’s most at-risk areas.


Listen in to hear how personal experiences of homelessness and the destruction that flooding can bring, led to our speakers' shared passion for this project. Learn how the people of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire are collaborating and co-creating to turn the threat of too much water into an opportunity to improve and develop green spaces within the area. Be inspired by a project which spans generations and focuses on working with nature, rather than fighting it.

Welcome to the very first episode of our first series, Copy This, where we travel to Scotland to learn how a community raised £millions to buy 5,000 acres of local land for a new nature reserve.


In this episode, hosts Ric Casale and Amanda Carpenter are reunited, having last met at COP26, moments after Ric had completed a gruelling 500-mile, 26-day walk from London.


During that journey, Ric had the opportunity to meet our podcast guests, Jenny Barlow and Mairi Telford Jammeh, of the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve in Langholm.


We hear about the incredible passion this small community has for protecting wildlife and restoring the area to its natural state. About how an unexpected opportunity to purchase a large swathe of land for the nature reserve sparked a fundraising mission that ignited people not only across Scotland, but globally as well. We learn about some of the characters and relationships that made it possible to raise the £millions needed – and about the plans to raise more and continue to grow the protected area.


Listen now, to discover the power that people can have when they come together to achieve an impossible dream.
