Gary Liss-Zero Waste

I was really surprised that so many large corporations have already adopted the habit of zero waste. If I was aware that is was possible to have zero waste I would have attempted to do more then just recycle a long time ago. What also blows me away was that everyone is liable for their own waste forever. What?! That makes me never want to throw anything away again, but I think that’s the whole point. So if so many communities have adopted zero waste, how can we bring it to our community and work on it together? Now that I am informed I will try to mainly support the companies/ industries that have this policy and start from point one in our community, my home. It seems to be the quickest solution, as Gary stated, for climate change that we can all start today. Reduce, reuse, and recycle!

Joe Medeiros- Green Careers

It would be really nice if everyone would find a job that impacts the environment in a positive way. However, that isn’t always the case. I know that my heart lies in the fascinating language of American Sign. Although, even if my major is not in the environmental field, I have learned throughout this course that I can still contribute to the ultimate goal that we all hope to achieve in saving the environment. Since there is a wide variety of employment in this field I see myself adopting some sort of environmentally friendly minor to work hand and hand together with my major. We are all dependent upon people to develop solutions and put them into actions for the threatening problems that we are facing. No matter what major a person chooses everyone can contribute and do their own part.
