Located in rural Cheshire, Ashton Hayes is a well knit community of about 1000 people that is aiming to become England's first carbon neutral community. We started our journey in January 2006 and since then we have already cut our carbon dioxide emissions significantly - by working together, sharing ideas and through behavioural change. We now have our community owned renewable energy company.
This website encapsulates our journey towards carbon neutrality and offers free advice and guidance. Please feel free to use anything from our website (we'd like a credit if you can).
Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 11:32AM We are delighted that Maria Lindley has agreed to become a director of the Ashton Hayes Community Energy Company, taking up the place left by Dr Mary Gillie. Maria is and active member of the community and has accountancy and other skills that will be really useful to the team.

The Going Carbon Neutral team were delighted to welcome Duncan and Ellen King from from Mono Lake in California, USA. The couple are members of the local Mono Lake Climate Action Group that aims to educate people about climate issues and hopes to inspire progress toward a sustainable future that protects the climate of their alpine environment, snow dependent economy and the quality of life for humans and wildlife in the Eastern Sierra. It was great to share ideas.

Congratulations to Garry Charnock and everyone involved in the Going Carbon Neutral Project. Garry is in Washington DC to receive the honour and to join a global debate on the big challenges facing Donald Trump. Should be interesting and at least Ashton Hayes is having its views aired.
