What’s New in Green Weaver 2
If you are already a user of Green Weaver, you’ll find most of this product and the framework familiar. However we have made some important changes, particularly to Part One. In what seems to have been a very short space of time since we completed the first version of this PowerPoint, the evidence on global warming has been piling up dramatically and climate change has seemed to be a permanent fixture in the news. Instead of turning to the weather page we were turning to the climate page. Even as we were completing these introductory notes California announced its intention to sue the six largest carmakers for their alleged contribution to global warming. Things have moved a long way in a few years. |

We’ve updated the section on climate change significantly with the inclusion of graphics and an explanation of the Thermohaline, abrupt climate change, changes to the permafrost and tundra in Siberia and Alaska, the recent dramatic reduction of polar ice, soil carbon release and much more. In Part Two we’ve changed the section on legislation and put more emphasis on potential liability. And of course in Part Three we’ve taken out references to Special Waste and replaced it with new notes on the Hazardous Waste Regulations. We’ve also made reference to the List of Waste Regulations and the European Waste Catalogue. We’ve even added some extra slides to the gallery. In the trainers support notes you will find some additional trainer tips and suggestions and notes for the optional integration of video material. These include our new videos on Hazardous Waste, Spill! training video and “It’s easy With Hindsight” our set of quirky trigger videos which deal with different aspects of resource depletion including oil, forests and fisheries. If energy saving is on your training agenda, you may also wish to include the video “Watts in Your Wires” to help with energy saving in the office. |
