Colloquium Overview

This class has opened my eyes to a lot of things. World hunger, the amounts that us as Americans waste and the fact that not much is being done to stop it. If only more people recycled, reused and renew products we would be in a cleaner more healthy world. After this class, I have realized that I need to recycle more, as well as making sure that I do not waste food,and keep the environment as clean as I can. I recently moved into a new house and I now have a separate trash can for recycling. So I am what you would call an "avid recycler." I am now watching the portions I cook and order at restaurants as well as what I buy in publix.By watching all of those things I will lower my rates of throwing out food. If I just buy food at publix for the week it will not go bad and all of it will be consumed. If I do not cook a lot of food and do not order a lot of food as restaurants I will save the amount that I would throw away. To keep the environment clean would be less driving more walking and I could clean up the streets, beaches, parks, etc. This will help with our environment. If I did this I would be the change and I could and would influence others to get involved. This class has taught me how important and precious our environment really is and if we do not do anything about it soon we will not have this most precious gift anymore.
