"This course has been eye-opening, inspirational and motivating. I feel more equipped to make individual changes and support my team to make changes, now I have the understanding gained during the course." Saira Akhtar
"Jen was brilliant! The course was very thorough and engaging. I loved the exercises and how it brought all the participants together over the sessions. It was very informative, well balanced and appropriate for all levels of knowledge. I now fully understand and acknowledge my carbon impact but more importantly I am inspired to immediately start implementing actions to reduce my emissions both as an individual and as a team member of a large specialist hospital. Thank you!" Diccon Westworth
