Footprint To Future: One Tonne At A Time

Carbon Literacy for Individuals and Communities

Standard: £130

Student: £95

Join a short, hands-on Carbon Literacy course that gives you the science, the tools and the community you need to make a real difference - plus a few dance breaks to shake of any 'meh' and feel strong! (Or you can laugh at me doing it!)

Each course is split over two mornings or two afternoons.  Each session is 4 hours (don't let that put you off, it goes incredibly quickly!).

Who’s it for?

• You feel overwhelmed by climate headlines and don't know where to start
• You'd like to learn the facts but the flood of opinions leave you anxious or confused
  
• You want to know what you can do and understand the impact your actions make
• You want to talk climate confidently, without awkward silences or losing your 💩
  
• You've started your climate journey but feel stuck 
• You'd like to become a Carbon Literacy trainer yourself

If any of this sounds like you, this course is exactly what you need.

What is Carbon Literacy?

A UN-recognised, one-day (or 8 hours)  learning experience that equips you with the knowledge and motivation to cut carbon - personally, locally and globally.  You'll finish with a sparkling, official Certificate of Carbon Literacy and a clear, personal action plan.

What to expect?

• No guilt-tripping - you skip the 'live off chia seeds' advice
• Real Conversations - inclusive ideas, practical steps and plemnty of movement breaks
  
• Small actions, big impact - learn how tiny changes add up to meaningful change (backed up with inspiring case studies)
  

You’ll Learn:

• How the carbon cycle works (without needing a science degree) - understand the basics which underpin every climate story
• How to measure your footprint with easy tools - see where you can cut emissions right now
• Local and global trends - connect your actions to the bigger picture
• Build an action plan - Find your passion and use your skillset to create steps that fit your lifestyle and goals.
• Communicate climate without losing friends or hope - share what you have learned with confidence and positivity
• Inspiring other - turn knowledge into community impact
• How to stay Climate-Cool (includes short dance breaks) - keep the momentum fun and sustainable

After years of conflicting advice - fly less, go vegan, install solar panels - I realised I had no idea if my 'actions' (or indeed, it felt like 'sacrifices') were making any impact at all!  Does it really matter if I skip a flight?  Swap beef for mushrooms? I needed clear, evidence‑based guidance. 

The Carbon Literacy Project gave me that day of clarity, and now I’m passionate about sharing it with real people in real communities. My aim is to turn confusion into confidence, anxiety into empowerment, and solitary effort into collective action.
