Thought provoking, we all need to look after the planet and take more care with the resources available.

Pushing meat and dairy free meals and diets
Overall the training was interesting. However, I didn't like how they pushed meat and dairy free days, with the intention of becoming meat and dairy free in order to stop intensive farming. Pushing dairy alternatives for anything other than an individual's health benefit is not environmentally friendly – or providing environmental awareness. To be more environmentally aware we should be sourcing local seasonal foods, from our own farmers who adhere to strict farming guidelines and not importing from the other side of the world.
Big subject – lots of surprising and interesting examples of how easy it is to make a difference
Added resources can be used for Bulletin Boards and regularly raise awareness to all staff.
Incorrect Answers
Some of the answers given are incorrect – e.g. it states that 17 trees provide enough oxygen for 2 humans for a year (correct answer according to the multiple question answers) – but in reality, the statistic explains that 17 trees provide enough oxygen for 34 people to breathe for a year (based on the calculation that a single tree can provide enough oxygen for 2 people annually).
Made me think about the impact my actions at home and work has on the environment and advised on how to improve things.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 (as amended in 2008) and the Environment Act 1995 say that anyone who produces, handles or disposes of waste must make sure it’s done properly and safely. Businesses and households that don’t comply can be given fines or even prison sentences. The Control of Pollution Act 1974 and its 1989 Amendment regulate waste transportation and disposal, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution, with fines for non-compliance. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme covers 31 countries. It limits the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that factories, power plants and airlines are allowed to emit, and lets companies buy, sell or trade their emission allowances.
It shall be a defence for a person charged under this act to prove: a) that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to to avoid the commission of the offence; or b) that he acted under instructions from his employer and neither knew nor had reason to suppose that the acts done by him constituted a contravention of [the Environmental Protection Act].
