How heavy is your carbon footprint? Would you like to do more to reduce climate change but simply don’t know where to start?
Rosie Lewis offers some answers in Going Green, a ten week evening course to help you reduce your carbon footprint which starts at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on September 24.
“The sessions will be friendly, chatty and very un-intimdating,” says Rosie who is events co-ordinator at the Botanics in her day job. “The course is designed for people who would like to be greener but are confused about where to start or feel overwhelmed by all the information that’s out there.”
So Going Green begins by measuring your footprint then, like all the most effective weight watchers classes, uses friendly group support to help you reduce your size. Focusing on a different topic each week – shopping, holidays, transport, energy in the home – the course outlines how all our everyday activities contribute to global warming and then offers practical alternatives. Group members can choose changes to make before the next class and the final session measures your footprint to see how far you have come.
Going Green is at the Botanics every Monday 6.30-8.30pm from September 24-December 3. Cost £80/£72 concession.
