Environmental Awareness Training Reviews

Makes you think of everyday events that have impact on the environment.

I understand that some people are ignorant to environmental issues or just choose to ignore them but this presentation was far too long with too much information that every adult should already know.

1) In reference to cutting out meat to preserve the environment, testing over opinion studies has shown that is not accurate. More demand for vegetable farming = more demand for fuels + drilling + greenhouses/electrical usage + travel to/extraction removal = increased pollution for demand. Solar/electrical provisions = more demand for drilling/ mining + fuels & have increased breaches of human right, such as child slavery + and accident rates, fatalities in developing countries. Accepted formal guidance for farming is a controlled balance between livestock & plant farming. Ref also, Carbon sequestration & livestock. (Livestock grazing is crucial for encouraging and maintaining biodiversity.) 2) There was little on vehicles, use of older vehicles, travels for work & driving policies to reduce emissions.

I already understand the importance of the impact that our personal choices and those of government, corporations and longstanding institutions have and have had on the good health of our planet, peoples and environment. Very sad, that I have to endure a 45 minute lecture, where I am made to feel responsible for the damage that "Humanity" has done to the planet and be tested afterwards. Especially when the problems and issues stem from decades and possibly centuries of industrialist and capitalist culture which has slowly been poisoning us all. Thank you, no thank you. The course itself is good but really in a modern day world, it ought to be redundant as the issues should be tackled at source and not at consumer level. Sorry but you did ask!
