Upon thinking about my experience with the class, I would say that my opinions on how we should treat the environment haven't necessarily changed, but I will say that the severity of the situations which we have put our planet in have been made a bit more clear to me. I have little doubt that we as a species will find ways to better inhabit the planet, as tons of great conservation efforts are happening as we speak, both on a local and a national level. I think from now on that I will try harder to educate others on ways to best live in an environmentally sustainable manner. As well, I've found myself taking shorter showers and remembering to turn off lights in rooms that aren't being used. Still, I'm only one person, and I think we have a long way to go to undo much of the damage which has been done. Overall, I'm glad to have had the experience with the colloquium class I've had, and absolutely enjoyed learning about the environment with my peers. Thank you for teaching me.
