​At carringtonLIME, we believe that traditional building skills have an important role to play in creating a more sustainable future. Working with natural materials, understanding historic construction methods, and repairing rather than replacing existing buildings all contribute to a lower-carbon approach to the built environment.

​

Our courses are designed not only to teach practical skills, but also to reconnect people with the materials they use, the buildings they care for, and the landscapes from which those materials come. By sharing knowledge of lime, earth and other natural building techniques, we aim to support more thoughtful, resilient, and environmentally responsible ways of building and consreving.

​

In 2024, we committed to becoming more sustainable in both our building company and training company. There are a number of areas that we will started to and continue to address:

​

• Wastage

• Material miles

• Welfare and ethics

• Travel and transport

• Energy Consumption

• Use of fossil fuels

​

We will be investigating how we can make changes to each of these areas and measuring the success of each. We will share all changes with our students, clients and followers so that others can benefit from our learnings.
