Discombobulated carbon

Heard that the EA are giving free construction carbon calculator training. My response is "why". The calulator is self explanatory and time would be better spent with clients engaging with their supply chains to what benefits it the calculator going to give.

I went to such a supply chain event recently with a client and a main contractor was totally honest in saying carbon was going to win & lose them contracts and their supply chain can help and also reap the rewards in work.

Whilst the EA have been really helpful recently, their staff potentially travelling around delivering seminars reminds me on the waste of money when WRAP delivered halving waste to landfill sessions at 5 star hotels (the buffet was good) and the terrible SWMP workshops years ago.

Its time for public money to be saved and private sector supply chains work together in upskilling staff in carbon calculators as throwing money at it doesnt have commercial sence in still a struggling economy.
