Clackmannanshire Green Map Initiative

Kincardine has seen many changes in the last 25 years, from the closure and demolition of the old coal-fired power station to the new rail link, road bridge and bypass route being built. 2010 / 11 will see the end of Kincairne, Sandeman and Ramsay Courts, the three blocks of high flats that have dominated the Kincardine skyline for 40 years, to be replaced by mixed social housing. A community that once saw thousands of people and cars passing through it every day is now quieter and less interrupted. Change is all around us.

Simply Local is Kincardine’s Low Carbon Challenge. We want to hear from residents who are interested in local walks, heritage and transport, who want to buy local and maybe grow local, keen on composting or crazy about recycling. With energy becoming increasingly expensive, Simply Local will provide information and opportunities to save money and reduce our carbon footprint at the same time!

Simply Local, the Low Carbon Kincardine project is part of the Scottish Government's Climate Challenge Fund. The fund seeks to develop strong and resilient communities able to manage the transition from high-energy dependency to a more sustainable future.

10% in 2010 is the challenge of the Low Carbon Kincardine project, with a series of workshops using the principles of Measure, Reflect and Act, local residents will be inspired to sign up. The average European citizen has an approximate carbon footprint of 10 metric tons, 10% means a reduction of 1000kgs that may seem a lot, however drive 10 miles less each week and that equals 225Kgs a year – so only another 775Kgs to go!
