About Cut the Carbon

    Who we are
  • Cath Hassell MSc has 25 years experience in the UK building industry, 8 years of which has involved training building and housing professionals, students and members of the public about sustainable construction and personal carbon literacy. She has her own environmental consultancy, www.ech2o.co.uk
  • Simon Corbey MSc is a Chartered Surveyor and has delivered sustainability training to schools and colleges for 10 years.
    Our ambitions
  • To visit at least 200 schools in 2008 and deliver Cut the Carbon training.
  • To give these schools all the materials and teacher's packs, so they can easily repeat the training. Packs contain all the answers, clearly worked out in kgCO2 and fully referenced.  
  • To make available the training and board game as a complete package, as a remote teaching tool.
  • Develop a downloadable version of the game, in different languages, for use in school's IT suite or at home. We have a prototype version already.
  • Develop the game further and launch a stand alone game.
