If you don’t own your own premises\, or even if you work from home\, there are still plenty of options for reducing your carbon footprint and benefits from doing so. \nSo\, take the first steps to reducing your carbon footprint today. \n  \nAbout the East Devon Carbon Action Programme (EDCAP) \n  \nThis workshop is part if the available support under the East Devon Carbon Action Programme (EDCAP).
