Carbon Literacy Standard met!

Carbon Literacy Standard met!

We are delighted that our founder Brendan Day and fellow director Carolyn Day have both  met all the requirements of the Carbon Literacy Project and for the purposes of workplace, education and community should be considered as Carbon Literate.

The training was delivered through Full Circle funerals and is available to everyone in the Bereavement Sector who is interested in becoming carbon literate.

Carbon Literacy® is relevant climate change learning that leads to positivity and action towards reducing carbon emissions. The Carbon Literacy Project works to provide you with access to this learning so that you can become certified as Carbon Literate.

The Project’s published definition of Carbon Literacy is

“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.”

As a result of completing the course an individual is able to understand 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.
