Hide-Course Description:
The programme consists of 8 meetings that cover the topics of waste, water, energy,transport, consumerism, food, bio-diversity and community. During the course of the programme participants identify money saving, eco friendly actions and get to try the actions out at home. The team leader offers support to participants between meetings and assists them with the actions they have decided to take.

This formula of giving information during the meetings and encouraging participants to take relevant actions between the meetings has proved a very successful way of initiating long-term lifestyle changes. The supportive team atmosphere created at the meetings is undoubtedly a large factor in this success. The meetings are lively and enjoyable and the actions are all simple, GAP just helps participants get into the routine of doing them. By coming on a GAP programme they discover that eco friendly is also economical and that it is easy and fun.
