- Lay a foundation for further learning formally or informally (This course can earn you credits for higher qualifications if you wish)
TOGETHER WE CAN HELP SAVE OUR PLANET
There are a vast number of environmental problems in the world. Whilst one person single handed may not be able to reverse the greenhouse effect or other large problems, we are often able to vote at elections, and we are able to modify our own domestic habits to minimise the environmental damage caused. If enough people change their way of thinking and their way of living, then global change is possible. Whilst we may act locally, we can think globally about the consequences of our actions
Learn about this and a lot more though this introductory course designed to provide you with a better understanding of the physical surroundings of the world we live in. By studying the environment you should increase your awareness and understanding of the world, you should begin to notice things in your surroundings which you didn’t notice before, and you will increase your appreciation of the complexities and intricacies of the natural and man made world which you live in.

Tips for Saving Water
The watering requirements of your plants can be minimised in the following ways:
- By choosing plant species and varieties that best suit the local climate
- By maintaining a well balanced fertile soil (appropriate to the plants selected)
- By watering in the cool of the day
- By using micro irrigation systems e.g. trickle systems where possible. These are much more efficient in their use of water.
- By slow thorough watering. A thorough deep watering once or twice a week will be more effective than light watering every day or two.
- By avoiding spraying water on windy days.
- By considering soil type when selecting a watering system.
- Clay soils hold water well and will distribute it horizontally, so a drip system is suitable. Water runs quickly through sandy soil and a micro spray, which distributes water over a broader area than a trickle system would be more suitable.
- By reducing excess evaporation. This can be achieved by keeping bare soil covered. Mulches, as well as reducing weed growth will reduce evaporation. Compact groundcovers will slow evaporation from the soil but they will use a lot of water themselves. Larger plants will shade the soil and limit evaporation but they can make getting water to the soil in the first place rather tricky.
- Rainwater tanks are a useful method of gaining extra water. The use of tanks in the city may require permission from your local government authority. Unfortunately some local Governments will not allow them at all, and some may require that they be of only a limited size and out of public sight. But if you can get one it can help save water and it will collect fresh rain water to drink. In some cities, however, it is not recommended to use rainwater for the household if there is any likelihood of pollutants being present in the rain water or collected off your roof.
- By covering swimming pools and directing storm water into them (subject to the conditions set out in the point above. Have the pool surrounds sloping back a little towards the pool so that any splashed water will run back into it.
Tips for Saving Energy
- Use energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind and water power.
- Use natural gas in preference to electricity, or use electricity generated by renewable means
(hydro-thermal, geothermal, wind, or solar). - Conserve energy around the house:
- install insulation,
- seal gaps to minimise heat loss or gain,
- use curtains, blinds, awnings, etc. to reduce heat loss in winter, and heat gain in summer,
- use energy efficient appliances (many larger appliances will have an energy efficiency rating on them),
- don’t heat or cool rooms that are not in use (e.g. spare bedrooms),
- turn off lights and appliances that are not being used,
- turn the thermostat down in winter and up in summer by a few degrees,
- put on warmer clothing in winter instead of turning thermostats up,
- insulate hot water tanks and pipes, and turn down the water heater thermostat.
