Week 3:
During this week our class read "The Challenges We Face." This chapter talked about all the shortages we are currently facing with our natural resources, which was kind of shocking for me in a way. We also read "Seeing Green: Knowing and Saving the Environment on Film." This article talked about how even documentaries on the "natural" environments are manipulated so that it will be more appealing to the views' eyes. It really made me think of how much media plays a role in Americans' lives. Our class also started to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore.
Week 4:
During this week our class continued to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. In this famous movie Al Gore broke down everything there is to know about global warming and its effects. He made it really clear of what could happen if nothing is done to stop global warming. He supported everything with scientific data which made him see more creditable and believable.
Yourself:
In the past two weeks I have learned that I might need little help with remembering with what is due and well thats ok with me. Thats why Abbey and I started a blogging party on Tues. to help each other and to remind each other on what is due and give help when needed. I have also learned that I need to work on being more eco-friendly by buying more local foods and fresh food also well. I have also learned that I have some pretty awesome classmates and friends that are always there to give a helping hand when needed. So Thank you everyone for helping a fellow classmate and friend when I really needed it!
Environment:
In the past two weeks I have learned so much more about the environment from watching the video "An Inconvenient Truth." I would recommend everyone to watch this video because it really goes into depth about global warming and the affects of it too. It was an eye opener for me to see the true effects of global warming.
Blogging:
I am now seeing some cool things that I can do with my blogging page... and I am definitely going to add some of them at the next blogging party!! I really can't wait because blogging has now become the "new facebook" in my life!

ReplyDeleteIngrid,

Yea, in addition I had never really thought about spreading the word to others! How all is well have a great night! Haha blogging the new Facebook you are funny Ing! :)
"Blogging has become the new facebook in my life". Well, I guess if we are going spend time online, we might as well get credit for it! I think it is funny that so many of us are going beyond the requirements just to make our blogs cooler.
ReplyDeleteI think that you had a good reflection of the last couple of weeks. It is good to hear that you are learning more about everything with each week and that we aren't just taking the information in, but thinking of ways to implement it in our lives. Seriously, lets go on a date to the whole foods co-op, I think we all need to work on buying more organic, and locally grown foods!! --S
