About Carbon Control
The Carbon Control project, organised by the RSA in partnership with Hope Education, has been designed for key stages 2 and 3 work, pupils aged 7 – 14.
The RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce) works to remove the barriers to social progress. We drive ideas, innovation and change through an ambitious programme of projects, events and lectures. Our work is supported by 26,000 Fellows, an influential network of leaders from every field and background across the UK and overseas (see www.theRSA.org).
The RSA’s project looking at personal reponsibility for carbon emissions, CarbonLimited can be found at www.theRSA.org/carbon.

As part of this initiative DEFRA select a regional young representative to act as Climate Change Champions amongst their peers. These 9 Climate Change Champions have helped to design this project and the carbon calculator.
The carbon calculator has been designed as the junior version of an adult carbon calculator launched by Defra. They are the first carbon calculators with government approved data sets.
The carbonator was put together with assistance from
D:GEN and the Energy Saving Trust (who built the adult defra calculator)
and the food data was supplied by:
