Basic Environmental Awareness Course Released
As the Gulf of Mexico oil spill continues to ravage the American coastline, the free online course provider, ALISON.com is drawing attention to the environment with the release of its new Georgraphy course - 'Introduction to Environmental Awareness'.
As the USA and indeed the world are slowly coming to terms with
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, never has there been a more opportune
moment to deliberate on the fragile nature of the environment and
the role we play in it.
In April, eleven rig workers died when the Deepwater Horizon rig
exploded off the Louisiana coast and sank causing a massive oil
spill threatening the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Texas, and Florida. White House energy advisor Carol Browner has
dubbed the catastrophe "the worst environmental disaster" in US
history and reports are emerging today that thick sheets of crude
oil are spreading through the delicate wetlands of Louisiana.
As the slick insidiously creeps towards the American coastline, a
heightened sense of environmental awareness is beginning to
emerge.
Today ALISON.com has launched the
first of a catalogue of courses on environmental awareness. The
courses offer a clear, concise and practical explanation of
resources and their management. The course also examines the effect
of mismanagement of the earth's limited resources and examines
examples of the effect of climate change in the context of
Antarctica and Tropical rainforests.
The course is ideal for students studying for exams who wish to
use the free interactive courses as a study aid to enhance learning
or for anyone with an interest in the environment.
