"The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis. It is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences."
"Upwards of two hundred species... are becoming extinct here every day because more and more of the earth's carrying capacity is systematically being converted into human carrying capacity."
It's now difficult to deny that human activities are having a devastating impact on our environment, with global warming, pollution, the exhaustion of natural resources, and the destruction of natural habitats all posing very real and immediate threats to life on this planet.
But while environmental problems are global, the solutions are often much closer to home. They start with the sort of routine decisions we make in our day-to-day lives. And that's where Protecting the Environment can help. Packed full of practical information, tips and advice, the course provides your staff with a clear understanding of the threats facing the environment, and the steps they can take to reduce their environmental footprint.
With Protecting the Environment, you can help your staff to stop being part of the problem, and to start being part of the solution!
The Protecting the Environment course is made up of five sections:
The environment matters!
Outlines the main threats to the environment, both globally and in the workplace.
Climate change: what's your footprint?
Explores the impact individuals have on the environment and how this can be measured in terms of their "carbon footprint".
Focus on energy use
Looks at the environmental impact of energy use and how this can be minimised in a typical workplace.
Focus on travel
Provides practical tips on how to reduce carbon emissions from travel.
Focus on waste
Explores how waste can be minimised and processed more effectively.
