About Sheffield Is My Planet

Sheffield Is My Planet is a city-wide communications campaign that is a partnership between Sheffield City Council and Sheffield First for Environment Partnership. We are working together so that Sheffield’s private sector, public sector and voluntary, community and faith sectors can join forces to tackle the huge task needed to bring about the dramatic cuts in carbon emissions.

The world now recognises these cuts in carbon and greenhouse gases must be made in order to preserve our species. It’s as simple as that, if we don’t seriously cut back on emitting our current rate of carbon and other greenhouse gases we won’t survive. Top priority for the campaign is to help you take action. We will give you the relevant local information to support you and also what others are doing and what is happening in your area and across the city, and how you can get involved or simply just do your own thing.

Over the coming months Sheffield Is My Planet will be active, growing and visible, working in partnership across our beautiful city to make Sheffield a "climate friendly" place to live, work and do business in. It’s a huge job, but together we can do it. Everyone has a role to play, from school children to business leaders, from local actions to international agreements.

Why should I make a promise?

We know people are familiar with the phrase climate change, but lots of people are unsure about just what to do about it. Our list of promises are a great starting point for those wanting to take some simple action to contribute to tackling climate change whilst saving money at the same time.

We want to create a community of Sheffield people, businesses and organisations that will commit to doing something to tackle climate change.

What advice is there to help me fulfil my promise?

Our aim is that we can give you advice and support to help you keep your promise and support you to turn your promise into a real carbon saving. If you have made your promise or just want to find out more Sheffield specific information about climate, you are in the right place.
