How can a radio station work towards environmental sustainability? Especially if it is an internet radio station? Can the two meet and co-join in a tree-planting utopia? Can it be done? In this section, I am going to write how Harrogate Community Radio are working towards becoming carbon-neutral and offsetting the damage caused by human activity on our environment. Harrogate Community Radio's Environmental Sustainability Pledge is not just for show, but a commitment.

Is Harrogate Community Radio Environmentally Sustainable?

Let’s start with the basics; our website and the Host's practices. We will cover these topics in other posts within this category.


But, between us we have spent decades (hundreds?) of years as environmental activists, researchers & campaigners.

So, a carbon-neutral radio station; can such a thing be achieved? Can the organisation be labelled as Carbon-Neutral? Harrogate Community Radio does not exist in a bubble and we have environmental obligations as entertainers in the community. 


We are trying to lead the way in bringing environmentally conscious media to Harrogate. Yes, the off-setting technology is still developing. But, it is developing at pace and we are keeping up with the crest of the wave. When a new method of reducing our footprint is revealed, we will be present.
