Lighten Up Frankfort! is using a simple and attractive guidebook called The Low Carbon Diet which is being employed successfully to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in communities around the country. Participating households will gather in small groups four times over the course of one to three months to calculate their Low Carbon Diethousehold’s carbon footprint, set a target for reduction, and plan or implement changes that will reduce their emissions to meet their target.

Lighten Up, Frankfort! ran a pilot program September through November 2009 involving teams from 10 local organizations. Read about the results. This initial campaign gave us the experience to engage community partners for a community-wide drive in 2010.
