testimonials

What students completing CLP accredited carbon literacy training are saying...

The course was extremely informative as well as shocking in terms of the potential consequences for our city and region. As a leader, it really made you think about your own role-modelling and energised me to really start to drive the agenda from a strategic perspective within my own organisation.
— Ian Hopkins
Thinking about a carbon literacy course. Do it! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. It's informative, fun and a little scary at times. I mean it's a big problem we are facing but you go away feeling empowered, ready to do something about it.
— Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Some of the most important training I've ever done... 
I thought I knew about climate change, carbon reduction and sustainability.  I thought we were doing our bit, and then we went on a carbon literacy course. One day out of a busy diary, but boy did it make a massive difference. I was wrong on so many things that I thought I knew about.
