Can you drastically cut UK carbon emissions by 2050?
Could you take charge and organise changes in production and consumption to cut UK CO2 production in 2050 to 20% of 1990 levels?
This excellent interactive decision making exercise asks you to do just that. It has great potential in geography, economics, environmental science and more.
Interestingly, if you get it right (succeed in hitting the 20% target or lower), you can submit your ‘decisions’ and the Department of Energy and Climate Change will combine your data with all other submissions to help inform a debate about the kinds of “choices and trade-offs the United Kingdom faces to reach the 2050 emissions reduction target”.

Thanks to my friend and former colleague, Andy, for passing this my way.
