We shall use the excellent Carbon Conversations materials by Cambridge authors Rosemary Randall and Andy Brown to analyse one's personal impact (carbon footprint), as well as the wider social and political issues. Difficult issues are tackled using several methods including games, case studies and discussion. Class members consider what changes they could realistically make eg eating less meat or travelling less, and what factors make change difficult. Elizabeth has run this many times for Cambridge Carbon Footprint/U3AC and is joined for the second time by Andy Clarke. Materials may be downloaded, or text books cost £10 to be paid by bank transfer (or by cheque). Homework will be set each week looking at the 4 main drivers of carbon usage: home energy, food, travel, and 'stuff'; such as clothing and consumer electronics.
