The Labour group on Bedford borough council has suggested that council employees stop picking up litter for one day, in the hope that this will emphasise how much the authority does to keep the streets clean. In addition to this, car sharing is being encouraged, and energy-saving light bulbs delivered to housing association properties. The idea is that if enough people get involved, a real difference could be made to the carbon footprint of the borough.

There are also thoughts of utilising photo-voltaic cells and combined heat and power technology for council facilities, which would allow excess energy to be fed into the national grid.
