Small groups meet for six 2-hour meetings with trained facilitators. Each member receives a 128 page course handbook.
Looking for a low-carbon future
Climate change will bring big other big changes: our responses need to be big too.
- What kind of society do you want to live in?
- What future do you imagine for your family?
- How can we start the big journey together?
Home energy
Home means comfort, security, privacy and personal space. Home is also the source of almost a quarter of our personal carbon emissions.
Learn how to make your home live up to all your dreams.
Travel & transport
Car, bike, bus, plane? We use them to get from A to B and each tells a story about who we are: our status and our desires.
Explore what travel means to you and how to gear up for a low-carbon future.
Food & water
Food means more than just a full belly. It's bound up with emotion, family and culture.
Explore ways of achieving a low-impact diet that matches your emotional needs as well.
Consumption & waste
The modern world surrounds us with wonderful things to buy. Each one has taken energy to make, and adds to our carbon emissions.
How much do we really need? Could we learn to live contentedly with less?
Moving on
Our final meeting is a reunion. After a few weeks have passed we meet again to:
- Celebrate
- Reflect on learning
- Share progress
- Make plans
- Discuss going forward
