Global Good founder, Karen Sutton, certified as ‘Carbon Literate’ by The Carbon Literacy Trust
Formed in 2013, The Carbon Literacy Trust’s aim is “to advance the education of the public in the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment” through the dissemination of Carbon Literacy.
But what does it mean to be ‘carbon literate’? In short, it’s ‘an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.’
In the world of Global Good, we believe passionately that companies and individuals shouldn’t just talk the talk. It seems only fitting then, that our Founder – Karen Sutton – has now been officially certified as ‘Carbon Literate’ by The Carbon Literacy Trust, having successfully completed a course of approved training.
What makes someone ‘carbon literate’?
A Carbon Literate citizen understands how climate change will affect them and the people around them, both geographically and sectorally. A Carbon Literate citizen has acquired the knowledge and skills to develop their own responses to lowering their carbon footprint, and the carbon footprint of others, whilst having the confidence to share their Carbon Literacy.
