The course is designed to make you think about the impact an individuals daily routine can have on the enviroment

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.

Despite the whole of the UK doing everything perfect, the world will still be screwed as we're a drop in the ocean which is China and USA. Rich people don't appear to reduce, re-use, recycle, it seems to be a poor people problem. We're barely keeping our head above the fiscal waters, with food, bills and energy costs yet we're expected to give money to charity? What money? We have none. Where are the multi-millionaires with their donations? Why is always those with nothing that are expected to fork out to fix the problems caused by the rich?

I thought this e-learning had some good information and points.Although I feel it was pushing an ideology.

A very practical, relevant and, in parts, forward-thinking presentation (esp. re references to vegetarianism / veganism). Very clearly put together and thought provoking. Especially liked the recurring message that we can all make a difference and that these small inputs add up to to a large benefit.

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.

Informative, but if we don't reduce population growth then we will continually be in the same situation no matter what we do!

Some of the questions are a bit dodgy, such as 17 trees will provide enough oxygen for 2 people for a year, or for 6 months - surely it depends how long the tree is growing for? So it should just be that 17 trees provide enough oxygen for 2 people...
