With a Little Splash of Hemp
Green Takeover's workshop is the first US-designed certification course accredited by the award winning Carbon Literacy Project in the UK.
Develop your knowledge of the climate crisis through understanding the path of carbon emissions from action to atmosphere, and where you can step in to reduce your impact along that pipeline.

Carbon Literacy is
“An awareness of the carbon dioxide costs and impacts of everyday activities, and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organizational basis.”
