You don\u2019t need special qualifications, just enthusiasm for spreading the message that everyone can do something to reduce carbon emissions. We\u2019re looking for people who love communicating (maybe even public speaking), organising fun events, creating colourful posters and graphics, and achieving miracles on a tight budget! If you can do any of these things (we don\u2019t expect you to do all of them!), please get in touch with <a href=\"mailto:kate@actionclimateteignbridge.org\">Kate<\/a> about joining our team\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are looking for an overall project coordinator.&nbsp; If we can\u2019t find a volunteer, we are confident that we can get funding to pay someone to be a self-employed, part-time coordinator. You wouldn\u2019t need specific academic qualifications, but you would need to have a friendly and optimistic outlook, and be able to talk, write, listen and express ideas clearly.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first task for the coordinator would be to find and support community-based climate volunteers, who would usually be town\/parish-based. We would be particularly interested in working with anyone who is a member of a Teignbridge climate group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coordinator and volunteers would be given introductory training and ongoing coaching to help them deliver small-scale projects \u2013 but it would be up to them to find projects and challenges that will enthuse people in their communities. Here are possible carbon cutting projects that your community might like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Energy \u2013 cutting home energy use and costs<\/li><li>Reducing the impact of our clothes\/fashion industry&nbsp;<\/li><li>Listening to teenagers \u2013 and helping them to take action<\/li><li>Running a repair caf\u00e9<\/li><li>Running a community larder<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in any aspect of this idea and want to find out more, please contact <a href=\"mailto:kate@actionclimateteignbridge.org\">Kate<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teignbridge is a beautiful district to live in \u2013 but, like the rest of the world, it is part of the climate problem, but also, part of the solution!
