What is Carbon Literacy?
​
Carbon Literacy is an accredited 7-hour interactive course that provides awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities coupled with the positive steps that can be taken to reduce emissions, on an individual, community or organisational level - it is the essential first step in empowering people to evoke wider societal change
