It was a simplistic and a sort of corporate attempt to try to encompass a one size fits all approach to environmental issues. Capel Manor college needs to incorporate environmental issues into all the syllabi and teaching. Some of the approaches to environmentalism were not relevant to a student at Capel Manor college. It was too generalised. It was a tick box exercise.
The course is long winded and the questions too detailed. I fail to see why the ordinary person needs to know about how much energy 1 bottle saves or the fact we throw away our body weight every 7 weeks.

The message is that Earth exists purely for our benefit and that everything on it is there to enhance our standard of living - rather than having any intrinsic value. Carbon offsetting is treated uncritically.
Should be split between workplace and individual so that the course is more manageable in a working day. Nearly an hour spent on it in total.

Tone of voice is so patronising and unchanging for whole course that also has loads of simplistic ideas and repetition, including things that aren't really relevant for training (e.g. team building etc). These things could be covered in a much shorter course. Would also be good to have some variety in voice/content. Its very hard to concentrate on it.
A bit of job justication .
Wealth is more a driver of greenhouse gas emissions than simple population. Even relatively low income households in the UK are in the higher bands of income globally. Having population as a focus risks shifting blame onto people who have minimal impact and a graphic of a virus spreading out of Africa to highlight population is potentially not the best choice. There was also no talk about the food companies buy. Do they need to buy dairy biscuits or is there fruit and bourbons as an option instead. If catering for an event do they look at what is offered e.g. chicken, fish, veggie and vegan option would suit many people over beef, pork, fish and vegan option.
I find it ironic that a training course that advocates limiting unnecessary energy usage should take 48 minutes-plus to get through. The point can be made in half that time - anything beyond that is just a waste of time, resource and energy.
