Feedback from Staffs:

Content and materials are good.    – Danny Kumar, BD Manager, Shell

Compiled feedback from IRAS:

- The talk was very well done! The trainer was really interesting and engaging. The videos shown were easily applicable and understandable.

- It is really shocking to find out how our diet is closely linked to Global warming when I have always thought that global warming is most linked to how we waste our natural resources like water wastage/electricity wastage/ increased use of plastics.

- Every individual needs to play a part to save the Earth.
