Green Issues
This is for anyone looking to learn more about the environment and climate change and how to make a difference in your local community. We'll be looking at what the statistics and data tell us about the climate crisis and what we can do about this. We all know what the statistics say but how do we understand and make sense of them? You don’t need to feel comfortable about numbers. If you have maths anxiety, this course will take you through numeracy at a gentle pace.
