Advocacy
I'll start out with the advocacy project we did. Although this wasn't my favorite project because usually I try to stand clear from politics and that sort of thing. I grew up where politics brought out the worst in people, all that disagreeing and arguing. My family apparently doesn't believe in the phrase "Let's agree to disagree" Besides my sappy childhood memories, the advocacy aspect of this class helped me with taking that last step into the operational phase for the things that I have come to care about most, such as air and water.
Photo-essay
The photo essay was one of my favorite projects. It wasn't the same old, same old write a 1500 word essay and I think that's a big part of what got me motivated. It was something different to experience and try. I have always had an interest in photography and this project allowed me to express that interest but also express what I care about.
Junk
The junk project I think was my favorite. I loved seeing everyones projects and ideas and plan to try some of them. While searching for a project to do, I discovered several other projects that I am going to do. Some projects I am doing for Christmas gifts to family and friends. This project helped me discovered new ways to recycle, renew, reuse, and upcycle.
Share and Voice
I'm glad the share and voice gave us an opportunity to share any subject we wanted to that was environmentally related of course. It was interesting reading other peoples' topics and ideas. It gives us to teach the class and hear other opinions.
Overall, the last half of this semester and this class as whole has been one of my favorites. Thanks to all that have made this class great!
The junk project was really fun, seeing the creative ideas people had. I definately got inspired to be more creative and buy less things. There are so many different uses for the stuff we have, this junk project made me see that.
