Environmental Awareness Away Day

More and more people are talking about Climate Change and the UK’s responsibility towards achieving the carbon emissions target. The UK government will set the world’s most ambitious climate change target into law to reduce emissions by 78% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels, by the end of June 2021.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “We want to continue to raise the bar on tackling climate change, and that’s why we’re setting the most ambitious target to cut emissions in the world.”

More and more organisations are taking the carbon reductions targets seriously by including their own environmental targets into their company scorecard.

More and more organisations are increasing the awareness of the environment with their employees by running (usually un-inspiring) “Environmental Awareness Sessions”.

And yet, despite ALL of this focus on our environment – how many of us REALLY understand what our personal or corporate responsibility is towards achieving the 2035 target?…and how accountable are we to “doing our bit” for the planet?

Environmental Awareness Training has just become inspiring, motivational, fun, challenging and personal!

Thanks to collaboration between South Derbyshire District Council, the National Forest Company and the country’s leading experiential learning organisation, Mobile Team Challenge you and your team / organisation / university etc can now enrol on the UK’s first “Plan-It Earth Challenge’’ Team Building Days at Rosliston Forestry Centre in the centre of the Country.

Already, a leading attraction in the area, Rosliston hosts leisure activities, corporate volunteering, conservation days and school visits. It has 154 acres of waymarked walking and cycling routes and 6 luxury lodges hidden within the forest.

Nestling on the edge of the National Forest and pleasantly located where the Staffordshire Moorlands meet the Derbyshire Dales, Rosliston covers hundreds of acres of unspoilt beauty – which serves as a reminder to all delegates as to how beautiful our planet and our environment is…and how vital it is that we start to protect it…now!
