Carbon Conversations
Groups start autumn 2010 – details to follow.
Carbon Conversations is an inspiring, practical 6-session course on low-carbon living. It was recently featured in the Guardian as one of the 20 best climate change solutions.
- based on the psychology of change
- emotionally engaging
- technically rigorous
- up to date, attractive handbook, games and materials
Led by trained volunteer facilitators, groups of 6-8 members meet in homes, community centres, workplaces or other venues. The six 2-hour meetings engage people both emotionally and practically, helping them overcome the barriers often associated with making large carbon reductions. Members explore the basic climate change problem, their responses to it, their ideas for a low-carbon future and the four key areas of the footprint – home energy, travel, food and other consumption. Most members make reductions of 1 tonne CO2 during the course and develop plans to halve their footprints over a longer period.
This course is brilliant – it doesn’t preach, it doesn’t tell you what to do and it doesn’t make you feel guilty. It asks stimulating questions, provides clear information and fun exercises and then helps you make your own decisions about what you can do.
