Environmental Awareness Training, Page 20 Reviews

Sadly lacks one of the most important action one can take: eat less meat. Please watch Game Changer or Cowspiracy!

Some of the content was interesting but the majority was rather too basic and the sort of thing most people already know about. I'd be more interested if the course was shorted and focused more on compliance, regulations and workplace specific awareness rather than looking at general environmental awareness which was set at a very basic level.

The content of this module is generally fine and has some interesting facts, but I felt that it wasn't appropriately targeted for a more mature and professional audience. It felt more appropriate for a younger teenage/pre-teen audience. The particular presenter's style reinforced this. As such, at times, it felt very patronizing.

No summary provided

A lot of the information is obvious, as has been told better on TV. Felt like it wasn't tailored to CC and no anywhereness of local offices and what is/is not being done already. It seemed to be a required exercise necessary to tick boxes, rather than an informative exercise.

All good points but it is so slow it is hard to keep attention

Nothing really groundbreaking. Avoided some serious stuff like the overpopulation. The 'Facts' presented were more irritating than useful. What does it mean that the energy to make a glass bottle would power a light bulb for x (I've already forgotten) years? Don't the authors know that there is no single 'light bulb'. Energy consumption varies extremely widely (almost orders of magnitude differences) depending on the illumination used and technology. Are we talking incandescent, LED, halogen or some other technology? This was one 'fact' that it really doesn't pay to remember.

The "butterfly effect" is a metaphoric description of sensitive dependence on initial conditions, see e.g. the Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect . It is therefore not correct to use it as a vehicle to describe that small individual changes can add up.Also, it is not correct to suggest that climate change can cause tsunamis. (Did you mean storm surges?)

Was okay didn't really learn much more from this course, from what I already knew about being environmentally aware

The course provides basic environmental knowledge and wow facts about how easy it is to be more sustainable and make a difference. Working for a charity who is at the forefront of conservation and with all the global environmental issues and implications that we should be addressing, I think this course will provide a good overview to everyone, weather for business or on a personal level.
