We often think about carbon reduction as work to be done ‘out there’, but what if it started right within the walls of our own homes?

With Tom Coles at the helm for the last seven years, Mitchell and Dickinson has overseen the insulation of 2,500 historic properties, stopping 150,000 tonnes of CO₂ from leaking out of Britain’s older houses.

In our latest article on the Carbon Savvy website, Tom speaks with Mukti Kumar Mitchell and reflects on how his work with leaders in carbon reduction has shaped not just his professional commitment, but his personal lifestyle – from insulating his family’s own period cottage, to low-carbon road trips across France, and the everyday conversations about the planet he has with his young sons.
