Một trong những điều quan trọng nhất mà CAT đã làm ban đầu là khám phá và trình diễn một loạt các kỹ thuật và chỉ ra những kỹ thuật nào có kết quả ít phá hủy nhất trên thế giới xung quanh chúng ta. Hơn nữa CAT cung cấp thông tin và lời khuyên cho mọi người trên khắp nước Anh và trên toàn thế giới. Nếu ngày càng có nhiều cá nhân được thông báo về mức độ thiệt hại của lối sống hiện đại của chúng ta đối với hành tinh này, có lẽ nhiều người trong số họ sẽ được chuẩn bị để tìm kiếm các giải pháp thiết thực cho các vấn đề môi trường.
