Truthfully, the book was just a supplement to the class. What I have learned throughout this course can not be realized through sitting down and reading a book. Issues must be presented and then people must discuss them, clarify them, and conclude truth. With help from the book and information shared from the class, I have concluded not three but one issue. Do we as a species have enough respect to care for our earth well enough to enjoy its natural gifts? Though at first glance a lot of the things expressed throughout the class seem negative, one concludes at the end that all is not lost. There are many people throughout our world who realize the damage we are doing, and are working with great strife and dedication towards fixing the problem. Some advancements made seem pertinent, like nature preserves. Still other problems rage on, still with people on both sides of the issue.
I feel this class has taught me the only way to solve this problem is to educate the world about the implications our actions can have on the future of the planet. If more people were aware of the amount of waste they create, or their ecological footprint- they will think twice. And that seems like all we need....
