1. To reduce our global carbon footprint, different people in our community need to work together.
2. Divide into 2 or 3 equal teams, with each team representing a different community group such as business people, government, civil society orgnisations etc.
3. Choose a specific issue in the community, such as subsidies for renewable energy or construction of a solar energy plant instead of revamping the community's normal power company.
4. Each team will brainstorm and discuss the groups values and perspectives on the particular issues, and think about the ways that the group you represent can contribute to a solution that reduces the environmental impact.
5. Hold a community debate where the teams make a presentation of their perspectives, and give room for different lines of thought from the different groups, weighing in on how practical the solutions are.
6. How hard was it to come up with solutions with the different groups presenting varying views? Remember that the end goal is to come up with solutions that would favorably reduce carbon footprint and promote clean and renewable energy as sustainable options.
7. When done with this activity, keep exploring the other activities in the Energy Challenge Badge kit and work on them as per the requirements, in order to to earn yourself the badge!
