The results below are from The Place-Based Carbon Calculator. They show that Silverdale has a high rate of CO2 emissions, outstripping individuals living in Lancaster City and exceeds even the UK average. The PBCC estimates the average carbon footprint per person for each LSOA in England. LSOAs are small statistical areas with a population of about 1,500 – 3,000. The tool takes a consumption-based approach to carbon footprints, this means that the emissions are counted by the consumer of a good or service not the producer. For example, if you buy a new phone made in China, the emissions from making that phone will be produced in China but will count towards your carbon footprint in England as you are the consumer.
