Through ten students’ unions in England, the project trained student volunteers in practical energy efficiency auditing skills, then deployed them to community organisations and small businesses in and around their campus to help reduce community carbon.
From helping to bridge closer links between students, students’ unions and the community to providing students with valuable skills the Carbon Ambassador scheme showed what can be achieved by students, businesses and the community working collectively in the battle against climate change.
The project is now closed.
Statistics on what the project achieved will appear here soon, together with resources to help community organisations save energy.
In the mean time, you can view our project video by clicking here.
The video gives you an idea of the sorts of energy saving actions many community organisations can make, and is presented by two of our volunteer auditors.
