Carbon Conversations

This event is organised by Peterborough in Transition and the Going Green working group of the British Psychological Society.

Carbon Conversations Groups offer a supportive group experience that helps people reduce their personal carbon footprint.  They deal with the difficulties of change by connecting to values, emotions and identity. The groups are based on a psychological understanding of how people change.

Small groups meet with trained facilitators in homes, community centres, workplaces or other venues. The groups offer:

• space for people to explore what climate change means for themselves, their families and their aspirations
• permission to share their hopes, doubts and anxieties
• time to work through the conflicts between intention, social pressure and identity
• reliable, well-researched information and practical guidance on what will make a difference
• support in creating a personal plan for change

The meetings use professionally designed, reliable materials to cover climate change basics, ideas for a low-carbon future and the four key areas of the footprint.
