Happy Earth Day: Give the gift of Carbon Literacy.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Sykes has marked yesterday’s ‘Earth Day’ 2024 by backing a campaign which raises funds for carbon literacy training in developing countries. 

Carbon Literacy is a term used to describe an awareness of climate change, and the climate impacts of mankind’s everyday actions. 

According to the organisation ‘Carbon Literacy Project’, “Carbon literacy is the knowledge and capacity required to create a positive shift in how mankind lives, works and behaves in response to climate change.”

Councillor Sykes said, “Everyone deserves the opportunity to become Carbon Literate.  But Carbon Literacy training is unaffordable for many businesses and governments in developing countries.  That’s why I’m supporting the Carbon Literacy Project.  Their fundraising efforts will go a long way towards raising awareness about the climate crisis and the benefits carbon literacy training can offer.”
