Carbon cutter lite feedback
Here’s a sample of some of the attendee feedback we have had from the CC Lite course:
“I really enjoyed the course – it’s a shame it was only a couple of hours!”
“The workshop was very informative, and clearly explained in ‘real terms’. Refreshingly jargon-free, too!”
“An excellent introduction to the science behind climate change and gives you the tools to decide what personal actions you might be able to take to reduce your emissions.”
What was the most important point you remember from the workshop?
- Understanding how ‘footprinting’ works, what the carbon budget actually is and the demonstration using the beaker really helped to make it much easier to understand.
- We’ve only got 5.5 years to get this sorted before we’re at the point of no return.
Was the workshop relevant to you?
- Yes, very. I am starting to plan out a series of engagements with communities across Dartmoor based around Community Climate Actions – and this forms an ideal basis for those discussions.
- I am a member of my organisations Climate Action Group and I wanted to better understand what my options are for cutting carbon within my team.
Has it changed your thoughts on carbon reduction?
- Yes, it has – it’s much clearer now that we have to do everything possible to cut emissions, and how to think about it in a positive way.
For example, I have been thinking about getting an electric car, but as I drive so few miles, at present it doesn’t seem like an effective action. - It emphasised the importance of personal action, not just focussing on industrial scale emissions.
Could you tell us why you wanted to attend the workshop?
- To further / improve my own knowledge, learn more about what I can do to reduce emissions, and how to form the basis for community work.
- To find out some options for emission reductions in my workplace/operations.
