Become Carbon Literate: Transform Your Business & Life by Making a Difference

Welcome to my latest newsletter, dedicated to Carbon Literacy. As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue, understanding and reducing our carbon footprint has never been more important. In this edition, we'll explore what Carbon Literacy is, why it's essential, and how you can get involved.

What is Carbon Literacy?

Accredited & Effective Training

Carbon Literacy is an essential, evidence-based training program designed to provide individuals and organisations with the knowledge and skills needed to take effective action on climate change.

The course covers the fundamentals of climate science, the impacts of carbon emissions, and practical steps that can be taken to reduce your carbon footprint.By becoming Carbon Literate, you gain a deeper understanding of the climate crisis and learn how to contribute meaningfully to the solution.

My Carbon Literacy courses offer a comprehensive seven hour learning experience, split into two engaging sessions, available online or in person.

During the course, you'll participate in breakout rooms, quizzes, videos, and practical exercises designed to deepen your understanding of carbon reduction strategies. Prior to the sessions, an hour of homework is required, and some additional time afterwards is needed to complete the assessment form. The certification fee, assessed by the Carbon Literacy Project, is included in the course price.

A Recent Review

Previous Carbon Literacy training attendee Sarah H says:

"I think our instructor really brought it to life. Annie really knows her stuff and had a researched, informed answer to every question we had - and we asked a wide range of questions. It really helps to have a scientist host this training. She’s also very up to date in her knowledge and while this is clearly a passion, she’s relatively objective in presenting the information, which is great."

Past participants have made some fantastic pledges, ranging from implementing new travel policies and switching email providers to adopting a more plant-based diet and choosing more ethical financial services. Some have even made radical changes, such as switching careers and turning down customers who don’t align with their business’s new sustainable direction.

These commitments go far beyond simply turning off lights or avoiding printing emails; they represent significant actions that are genuinely making a difference. Not only are they reducing emissions, but they’re also improving health, saving money, and making my learners happier. Amazing!

Now is the time to become Carbon Literate. Whether you're an individual looking to make a difference, a small business aiming to enhance sustainability, or a marketing professional wanting to drive change, my courses are designed to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need.
