This month’s Pledge of the Month comes from an open course we ran with Town and Parish Councils earlier this year. For those of us working in climate, it’s easy to think that everybody already understands the situation and that figuring out what to do about it is the big piece of work to do. …
September’s Pledge of the Month is from law firm Addleshaw Goddard. We love establishing long-term relationships with our clients, and we’ve been working with the majority of our existing organisations for years. There is something really special though, about beginning a new project with a new firm. I wrote a Carbon Literacy course for Addleshaw …
August’s Pledge of the Month is from Network Rail Eastern, from a session we delivered in June. The pledge stood out to me because it’s a great reminder that there are things we can do to make our work more sustainable, even if we don’t know it. When planning projects, decisions can often be made that …
July’s Pledge of the Month is from Newham College. We’ve been working with Newham since 2025 offering Carbon Literacy training to mixed cohorts of staff and students.

To deliver these sessions, Trudie used Speak Carbon’s accredited Carbon Literacy for 11-18 year olds …
