After looking at the prickly problem of climate change, those clever chaps at Schumacher College in Totnes have agreed to, like, totally save the planet.
The group of participants, whose ages ranged from 25 to 80 and whose homes ranged from Devon to Nepal, attended a course called Climate Change: Seeing The Whole Picture.
So inspired were they by the whole thing, they pledged to find ways to reduce their carbon footprint by one tonne over the coming year (presumably by not flying from Nepal to Totnes to attend courses on being environmentally friendly).
Anyhoo, Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth UK and one of the tutors on the course, says: “We really need action now at every level including the individual as well as real effective political leadership.”
Thanks for that, Tony! We assume your advice on the course was a little more constructive.
