This could be applied in the home, at work or anywhere in the community. You’ll get a certificate of accreditation. Choose from an evening or afternoon session in Bathgate or Linlithgow.

Beyond small personal changes, carbon literacy emphasises the need for significant change. It empowers individuals to create a wider impact, no matter the setting.
