a simple and easy understanding online training good for everyone. Presenter is also helpful in her clear simple English and she is beautiful.
I like the idea of switching off appliances when they are not in use. This is an area the Company must take good steps to improve. Please include elements of renewable energy in the course material to encourage projects and workplace to adopt renewable energy such as solar. The Company I am working for rarely have any environmental news or activities from the Management. A few words in the Monthly Reporting to the staff would mean something. They should employ an environmental officer possibly be part of the project support staff duty to report on monthly paper saved, energy saved and bench making environmental performance with this type, size, nature of Company we are operating/ working in. I would also suggest to say few words in the course when we have the EMS in place in a company that Environmental Auditing should be in place to gauge how well the company performs in terms of its scope of business activities/ projects.

Waste of time.
The best for the planet
Recycling makes a difference and is good for the health of the planet and therefore for the inhabitants.

Needs updating
As a box-ticking exercise so that companies can add some sort of silly badge like a cub scout to 'certify' that their employees know something about the environment, it probably does its job. Let's imagine we were genuinely concerned about informing people about environmental issues, however. This course urgently needs updating beyond the 1990s thinking that it espouses. The idea that we can keep under 2C of warming by recycling, switching off appliances on stand-by, planting trees, and not running the tap while we are brushing our teeth is simply wrong. Though of course we should still do those things, far more radical changes are needed, both individually and societally. For example, scenarios keeping us under 2C generally imagine negative CO2 emissions using as yet undeveloped or unproven-at-scale technology. The course also fails to point out that 2C of warming is no picnic — it does not reflect 'balance' in nature at all. Every 0.1C of mean global temperature rise we can avoid will save lives and money. The point about population (now >8bn, which dates the course) is an (I hope) unintentional dog-whistle. In 1800, people didn't have cars, didn't take flights on holiday, and didn't heat their houses to 21C in winter; there was no intensive farming, no industrial electricity generation, no internet, no fast fashion, etc. There is simply no comparison with modern lifestyles in industrialized nations. Parts of the world that now have the highest and fastest-growing populations generally have lower per-capita emissions than we do — and much of their national emissions are associated with supplying goods to wealthier nations. The course could also do more to highlight the exacerbated inequalities that environmental harm causes: those who are less well-off (in any nation, including ours) are probably already doing everything possible to eliminate waste and save energy because they are living hand-to-mouth. However, they are also going to be those who are more exposed to the harmful effects of environmental damage.
Great training
