Carbon Conversations

Hosted by South East London Community Energy and the Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency

Friday, September 16, 2016 from 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM And then every other Friday for a total of six weeks   Do you want to live a greener life but aren't sure where to start? Do you want to know more about climate change and what can be done? 

Join our two great facilitators for a series of six friendly, practical, group sessions.

We will help you to take positive steps towards tackling climate change and moving to a lower carbon, higher enjoyment, lifestyle. Typically, carbon reductions of one tonne are made by each member during the course and we aim to halve individual carbon footprints over a four to five year period.

The Carbon Conversations initiative has been highlighted as one of The Guardian's 20 ideas that could save the world. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/jul/13/manchester-report-climate-change

What is Carbon Conversations?

Carbon Conversations offers a supportive group experience that helps people to understand their personal carbon footprint, how their footprint relates to climate change and what they can do to reduce it.

The sessions specialize in dealing with the difficulties of personal change by connecting with individual values, emotions and identity. Based on a psychological understanding of how people change, groups of six to eight members meet with trained facilitators for six session in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

The groups offer:

Reliable, well-researched information and practical guidance on how to make a difference to your life

Space for people to explore what climate change means for themselves, their families and their aspirations

Support in creating a personal plan for change.

The meetings use professionally designed, reliable materials to cover climate change basics, ideas for a low-carbon future and the four key areas of the footprint: home energy, travel, food and other consumption.

Discussions about lifestyle practicalities are woven together with discussions about changing habits in a realistic way.

This course is free but there is a £20 cost to buy the workbook and Rosemary Randall's book In Time For Tomorrow?. This cost will be shared by the group. We will meet on Friday September 16th and then every other Friday for a total of 6 weeks.
