It could focus more on the "organisation/company" side, as the majority of the course has contents that I have learned in school, starting when I was around 10 and continuing all the way until I was 18. Very repetitive except for the parts more related to how it changes concerning the companies.

I wasn't really able to watch all the videos. i think we all know we should create less waste and look after our environment. I always think with these courses you should be presented with the questions first, then if you fail watch the videos.

A good informative course. As stated, we already know most of the content, but hearing and seeing it makes you think about it that bit more.

Easy to understand, easy to complete

A fabulous reminder of what we should be doing already! Stark comparisons of what can be achieved if we all do a little bit more of the right thing.

There was lots of accurate and important information in this course, however it also contained some very important and concerning factual errors. 1) The 'butterfly effect' does not apply to any of the given examples. The so-called butterfly effect is from Chaos theory (see Gleick "Chaos: Making a New Science") and applies to complex systems (like the climate) where a small change can create a large change in state via a 'tipping point'. Not a small individual action can have a large effect. 2) In fact current studies show the opposite that individual actions have almost no effect on greenhouse gas emissions and that legislation is far more effective. Also, the missinformation behind the idea that a consumer can effect positive change on markets through choice has been linked to fossil fuel marketing. 3) Your definition of 'net-zero' 'Net Zero is effectively the same thing as being carbon neutral. It means we will still produce greenhouse gases, but only the amount that the earth can safely absorb - so the scales are balanced' is incorrect. Net zero does not mean making sure GHG emissions are balanced with what is naturally absorbed. Net zero means that all human emissions are balanced by negative human emissions so that the natural carbon sinks can draw down the concentrations of GHG in the atmosphere to a level that will reduce global warming. It is not at all about a balance, it is about a reduction of GHG in the atmosphere. (see https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-global-warming-stop-as-soon-as-net-zero-emissions-are-reached/)
