If you want to bring about lasting change, you have to show people how it can bring benefit to their daily lives. That is the thinking at the core of the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE), which for 25 years has been carrying out an impressive range of education, advice and policy work, all of it making the case for energy efficiency, and for renewables. One of their most striking recent initiatives has been the Energy Matters education programme, enabling children to carry out simple energy audits of their schools and homes. CSE found that over 75% of families involved had taken some energy-saving action as a result. Another initiative involves local sixth-formers in a Climate Change Challenge, engaging them on issues of energy use and carbon emissions, and encouraging them to challenge local authorities on what they are doing to meet carbon reduction goals.
