Environmental Awareness Training, Page 16 Reviews

Course too long, was aware most of the content but for someone not familiar, very factual and inspiring would give a 4, was also very useful to share with my Children 13 and 11, they were shocked and hopefully inspired them to be more environmental aware. Problem course too long and slow for busy employees.

I have enjoyed many of these training sessions and I'm very interested in environmental issues but this was overly long and the repetition meant you switched off a bit - I still scored 95% but I think it could have been a less painful process

Interesting facts and figures but not sure testing the energy saved by recycling a glass bottle is essential knowledge to take away from the training in the test. It is taking longer than the estimated time on the session to complete due to slow refresh and crashing on first attempt to complete, over an hour is too much (feel guilty saying that when we are talking about the environment) difficult to prioritise above business activity.

Good to raise awareness especially of waste management. A bit strong on the doctrine of the environmental lobby! Facts given are over-simplified to prove a point.

"The butterfly effect" is a term coined by chaos mathematicians to describe how a small change to a system can have a large and unpredictable consequence. There is also no right or wrong to this. So, by blinking or not, either way you could cause a hurricane on the other side of the planet. It's not your "fault", but wouldn't have happened if you had/hadn't blinked. Using "the butterfly effect" in the way you do is wrong. You are saying that if everyone plays their part, even in a small way, we can make a big difference for the betterment of the planet. While this is a valuable sentiment, it is not the butterfly effect. Perhaps you could talk about tipping points, or weight of numbers.Also, the questions at the end are kind of irrelevant. It's not important whether we've correctly memorised exactly how many hours, how many trees, how many times our own body weight., etc. Perhaps it correlates to something, but it doesn't feel like a good measure of how well we've paid attention, or what behaviours will change as a result of the course. It seems as though you've struggled to produce a test, and have just gone for trivial details to recall.

Surely this can be condensed to a 10min course

I thought the context, provided by the descriptions of the twin threats of climate change and the catastrophic loss of biodiversity, was good. However, I think you could have been much more ambitious in the changes you were suggesting organisations and individuals make. These were mostly about reducing waste which of course is good but what about challenging us to reduce our high carbon lifestyles by changing our diets, to more of a plant based diet, and reducing the amount of flying we do. Our diet and the number of flights we take each year have the biggest impacts on our individual and collective carbon footprints.
