Global Action Plan Training for Communities
SECAD is pleased to offer your group the opportunity to take part in the Global Action Plan training programme delivered by the Cork Environmental Forum. This ‘eco-saver’ programme involves 6 workshops which deal with household issues such as Waste, Energy, Water, Transport, etc. The course is fully funded through the Rural Development Programme so there will be no charge to your group. The course can be delivered in your own community provided there are sufficient numbers available to participate
The aim of the Global Action Plan is to provide tips and insights into how to reduce your impact on the environment and save money in the process. It’s an action based programme with participants encouraged to make changes in their households and report back. More information is available on cef.ie.
To date over 600 people in County Cork have availed of the Global Action Plan. It is an enjoyable course with one workshop every fortnight. By the end of the course participants will have made significant changes to their waste, water and energy management practices.
Participants worldwide have achieved on average the following resource savings per year:
- 40% reduction in rubbish sent to landfill
- 12% reduction in energy consumption
- 15% reduction in water consumption
- 18% fall in household carbon dioxide output
- And approximately €300 per household
- All the while improving their quality of life
