Carbon Reduction Action Group or Carbon Rationing Action Group. Clubs started in England in 2005 to voluntarily reduce personal carbon dioxide emissions. Craggers measure direct emissions through consumption of energy on a yearly basis, known as a "Carbon Year" and work towards goals set by each group. Some groups have voted to charge themselves penalties for going over emissions goals. Members of CRAGs are voluntarily acting as if there are regulatory limits to personal carbon emissions.
The Maryland CRAG is a group of about 30 people in Maryland, USA that has set a voluntary carbon emissions goal of 10% below the national average.
