Who can be an EcoTeam leader?

To be a Team Leader you don’t have to be an expert and it won’t take up much of your time. You just need an interest in taking simple actions such as saving energy and resources coupled with a wish to get other people motivated about these subjects.

The best EcoTeams are those which engage team members in the process, allowing them to share their experiences, difficulties and successes.

What do EcoTeam leaders do?

• Attend a training day (optional)
• Recruit an EcoTeam
• Help to run 5 monthly* topic meetings (*1 month is recommended for each topic)

Team leaders and their members have access to online resources which guide them through the EcoTeam process. These resources help leaders and their team to make simple, effective changes to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. There are also activities available online to provoke thought and lively discussion and assist the team in setting action points.
