Footprint Training| 13.06.10

Three students (Jason Tobin, David McBeth and Andrew Cathie) from NC Digital Media Computing recently completed Footprint training at Glasgow Caledonian University.  The project aims to empower students to take a leading role in reducing the carbon footprints of the communities in which they live.

The carbon management training will enable them to carry out campus and community carbon audits that result in significant carbon savings and positive behaviour change. They have audited Glasgow Caledonian University and South Lanarkshire College.  They were very impressed when shown around the colleges Low Carbon House.

The pilot project involves working with two colleges and two universities in Scotland, training and supporting students to be Carbon Ambassadors.

The volunteers will gain practical experience of reducing the carbon emissions of organisations, enabling them to make a difference to the communities in which they live.  They will be visiting other schools and colleges to give their advice on reducing carbon emissions during the next few months.
