Who we are
Convinced that the personal is political Cath Hassell devised the CO2 voucher scheme in 2001 which has now become the award winning Cut Your Carbon board game. Cath has been involved in the UK building industry for 25 years. For the last 10 years she has been working with school pupils to engage and inform them about environmental issues.
Trevon Jervis design the Cut Your Carbon materials and helps deliver the training. He has lived and studied both in the UK and abroad and has a particular interest in the effect of global warming on developing nations.
Our ambition
To ensure as many school pupils as possible understand about global warming and how to reduce their personal CO2 footprint.
To help schools meet the sustainable school goals.
To work with various partners to play Cut Your Carbon in schools across the UK.
Who we work with
Cut Your Carbon works with local authorities, businesses and charities to enable schools to access our training. We also work directly with schools.
Ecomerchant (www.ecomerchant.co.uk) sponsored us to go directly into two schools. Their links with the local County Council has meant more schoolchildren in Kent can now play Cut Your Carbon and reduce their personal CO2emissions.
Second Nature who produce Thermafleece sheep’s wool insulation are working with us to introduce Cut Your Carbon into all junior schools in Cumbria.
Eurban (www.eurban.co.uk) design and build solid timber school buildings. They are working with Cut Your Carbon to combine a sustainable learning environment with carbon literacy for pupils.
