Perspective Change?

My perspective about issues regarding the environment and the human impact has changed 180 degrees. I have always cared about nature, but I never really knew how important so many issues are that relate to the environment. No one knows how the little careless actions they do impact the environment in the way that it does and continue to do so without a second thought. Most of the people that I have asked about their opinion on the environment have all responded in similar ways. “We’re not going to have a global natural disaster in our lifetime, so why worry about it.” Honestly, before this class I had a similar perspective, but also I was unaware that our planet had as many direct issues that need to addressed. Now I am fully aware of what I can do and do not let a day go by without contributing to an uphill battle on saving the environment. In my opinion, if more people took this class, we would see a more collaborative effort by a greater number of people starting to fix what is in great danger of being destroy

    Everything you have said here just goes to show how important it is to have classes like this one to inform us all. I too was unaware of how every day we effect our environment in small ways and can conserve pretty simply. It's sad to see how ignorant some people can be with statement like "not in our lifetime." If this class was a requirement for all degree programs it would likely help spread the information.

    True! I totally agree with you that if more people took this class then we would definitely see a greater effort of people working together to help save our environment. Also, people can not just take a stand for something they have no idea about or not informed on; therefore, people need to come to an understanding of what is going on in our environment by taking this class. To be honest, it is crucial that they be informed of our environment because they are a part of it. They eat, breathe, and live in that very environment.
