Carbon Conversations in Act On CO2 Video


Our Carbon Conversations course has been chosen by Act On CO2, the Government’s initiative to encourage individuals to reduce their carbon emissions, to feature in this excellent short video.

The video focuses small steps but Carbon Conversations recognises that when we are engaged emotionally we can make big changes in response to the big problem of Climate Change.

The video is being featured at the Act On CO2 Facebook group.

Climate-Friendly Voluntary Groups


Siobhan describes steps small organisations can take to be more climate-friendly

Cambridge Carbon Footprint ran a training programme for voluntary groups with Cambridge Council for Voluntary Services at Llandadd Chambers on 9 February.

Siobhan and Mark from Cambridge Carbon Footprint lead the session which included:

  • case studies of small organisations, their particular challenges and how they overcome them
  • thinking creatively about the future using backcasting techniques
  • a showing of move The Age Of Stupid
  • facilitated discussion about the issues of climate change and what voluntary organisations can do to help

Carbon Conversations continues to grow

Image of Facilitator Training

Facilitators from around the UK gather in a Cambridge home for the carbon conversations training.

This weekend would-be Carbon Conversations facilitators from all over the UK gathered in a Cambridge home for the second of our popular intensive facilitator training courses. The intensive course enables facilitators from outside Cambridge to lead Carbon Conversations groups in their local areas. In two intensive days of training they get to try the games and other learning activities that make carbon conversations so effective, and learn co-facilitation skills that will enable them to lead the course when they return home.

The participants gave wonderfully positive feedback of their experience and left with bags full of  Carbon Conversations books and games to use in their workplaces and communities.
