• 02The difference between climate and environment
• 03Waste hierarchy (prevent, reuse, recycle, incinerate/landfill)

Where can you read more?

Ask your instructor for the course materials and tasks. You can find general knowledge about environment, energy, and waste from the Environmental Agency and Energy Agency, and your own company's work environment and environmental organization can show how you work concretely with resources and waste.
