In this episode of the Carbon Copy Podcast we explore the origins and the impacts of The Carbon Literacy Project. We speak to co-founder Phil Korbel, about how and why the initiative started, and about its exponential growth over the last thirteen years. We meet Linda Foley, an experienced educator and Manchester City Councillor, who discovered Carbon Literacy in her efforts to engage more of the school community with sustainability, and who says the project is the “silver bullet” she was looking for. And we chat to Jen Gale: author, podcaster and founder of Sustainable(ish), about her journey to becoming a Carbon Literacy trainer.
Listen now to hear:
- How peer-to-peer learning is central to the ethos of Carbon Literacy.
- How embedding Carbon Literacy into organisations’ mandatory training is helping more people to get on board with climate action.
- How to become Carbon Literate yourself, and how you could help to train and engage others in your community.
- About The Carbon Literacy Project’s ambition to make Manchester the world’s first Carbon Literate City by 2027.
