The Cornwall Voluntary Sector Forum, Community Energy Plus and Cornwall Development Company have organised a free event on the 17th February 2010 with the aim to reduce Cornwall Voluntary Sector’s Carbon by at least 10% over 2010.
This event is specifically aimed at Senior Managers, Chief Executives and Trustees from voluntary organisations that are consuming a lot of energy – particularly those with an annual income of £½ million or over.
The event will be a series of Master Classes in the morning discussing solutions to major carbon producing activities; and also discussing the challenges faced by trying to change your organisation’s habits.
In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to book in a 1:1 surgery with someone from Community Energy Plus and Cornwall Development Agency to focus on your specific issues and opportunities available.
So if you’re one of Cornwall’s Leaders and want to lead by example on the pressing issues of Climate Change, stay one step ahead of oncoming legislation – and reduce your energy bills, then this event is for you.
