Walking the Walk

The Walking the Walk Training Guide is a fun 20-30 minute group activity which enables participants to learn about the greenhouse gas emissions of the average UK resident.  It provides a memorable visual of how we can have a major impact on reducing our own personal emissions.

Walking the Walk is aimed at groups who are already aware of the threat of climate change, and are thinking about what action they should take to tackle it. Alternatively, the activity can be run as part of a longer training session where the threat of climate change has already been covered.
