The aim is to provide reliable and useful information in small supportive groups for people who are concerned about climate change to help them examine ways in which they might reduce their carbon footprint. This is what a participant on the first Salisbury course had to say- ”Most inspiring was sharing curiosity, discovering information from each other and then encouraging others to make changes -and receive support to make ones own changes. It was the ‘togetherness’ that made all sessions so valuable”. The course consists of six two hour sessions, which take place once a fortnight, on home energy, travel and transport, food and water and consumption and waste. It is based on a course handbook, which is packed with useful information. Methods consist of exercises in pairs, group discussion, board games, short talks and practical tasks based on participants’ own lifestyle.
