Hi all
Please see below. Take it from me Karen's done a huge amount of work preparing
this course and her clear, step-by-step approach makes it suitable for those
who have no idea where to start as well as those who may have a policy in their
organisation already but want to keep abreast of current best practice and make
sure their policy is the best it can be.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think might benefit.
Thanks!
Tom

About us
Green Minded was started to help businesses and organisations improve their
sustainability. It aims to provide a friendly, affordable, cost effective
service, whatever your situation, and build capacity within your organisation,
whatever your means. Green Minded is also as sustainable as possible in its own
running. Too many organisations who encourage sustainability talk the talk but
don't walk the walk. Green Minded was born out of the desire to show that
reducing your impact on the world is not only possible, but desirable, and to
help those who want to do so.
