I Work as web development officer for the website: NCVO-National Council for Voluntary Organisations, a charity that give voice and support to civil society. Previous to that role, I worked for 2 yeas as web editor at NCVO, and for 2 years at a dump (reuse and recycling centre and household waste) as Environmental development officer focussing on waste minimisation, waste education and recycling. This included lots of project management and field work as well as web work to raise awareness on these topics.
David Kane, from NCVO research team posted something on the subject on his blog:
What's the carbon footprint of the voluntary sector? 19th October 2009
Let's look at this with some quick and easy calculations. I'm not going to claim that this is authoritative robust research, but it might give us an indication of the scale of the sector's contribution to climate change.
I just found some info about citizen engagement that might be of interest.
