While climate change has become an accepted fact and people want to make changes,
many find it difficult to take the action needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At
FoodShare we aim to give people both skills and understanding to enable them to
reduce their impacts.
These packages includes workshop outlines, information sheets, backgrounders, and
activities to support people in training themselves and others to take real action to
reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
Each topic includes information and workshops to help people ways to reduce their
emissions with actions as simple as turning off the lights or the tap when they are not in
use to more complex and involved activities such as planting, growing and harvesting
organic food.
