Testimonial:

“I wanted to send a quick note to say thanks for leading us through the Carbon Literacy training over the last 3 weeks. I thought your style really added to the experience, and that you struck the right balance between helping us understand the issue’s severity and feeling a sense of hope that collective effort can make a difference. The course content you gathered and path you wove through it felt locally relevant, was very interesting and has left me with both the skills and motivation to identify practical ways forward.

A very worthwhile investment!

With gratitude, Jo”
