Changeworks We’ve calculated our carbon footprint for 2010/2011. Our organisation expended 509 tonnes of CO2e in 2010-11, that is the equivalent of 2.69 tonnes CO2e per full time equivalent member of staff. For every tonne of CO2e that we expended though, we managed to help others save 1,135 tonnes. Would you like help to reduce your impact on the environment? We’re in the business of reducing carbon, so get touch and find out how we can help you.

The first is this afternoon at Scores Hotel in St. Andrews from 3:00pm–7:00pm. The second is on Thursday 19 January at Howe of Fife Rugby Club in Cupar from 3:00pm–7:00pm.
