Spring workshops from Communities for Zero Carbon Oxford
In spring 2021, LCON and friends from Communities for Zero Carbon Oxford delivered a series of 4 workshops covering tree planting, waste, food and home energy. The last three were recorded on zoom, and the videos can be found on Low Carbon West Oxford’s website.
We’re excited to announce a series of online workshops, brought to you by Communities for Zero Carbon Oxford. The workshops are all designed to help us as individuals and communities take action to combat the climate crisis. Topics include tree care, waste, food and home energy/ retrofit, details below:
