This workshop explores behavioral changes that can reduce your personal carbon footprint while also increasing your happiness.
In a supportive environment, you will work in small teams to create personalized action plans for cutting carbon in ways that produce a net benefit for happiness. Drawing on key lessons from behavioral science, this workshop aims to empower people to reflect on their own habits and generate thoughtful new approaches to achieve a happier and more sustainable world.
