The below pic might not look much but it’s probably the world’s first weekly carbon emissions calculation for an amateur sports club.  Created automatically and for free for Eight Ash Green CC, it’s the first step to making cricket carbon net zero by 2030. 

The Green’s emissions are estimated at 423 grams of carbon equivalent.  Don’t worry if that doesn’t mean anything as we’ll be explaining all this stuff as we go along. We measure energy, transport and food at the moment. As you’d expect transport is the biggie at 80% of emissions. 

Transport has been estimated at 1 vehicle per player so 11 per fixture, doubled to 22 vehicles per youth training session.  This is our ‘worst case scenario’ and switches the emphasis on club members to reduce this by changing the number or type of cars used.
