Week 2/12 Discussion Topic – The Current State of the Environment

Last night we watched An Inconvenient Truth. What ran through your head as you drove home? Amazing individuals have been able to manifest strength in the face of environmental crisis, and do something about it. We can learn from and be inspired by their lives. Discuss the environmental hero biographies.

Discussion Topic for Week of 2/5

Discussion Topic: contracts, if you find more good ideas after looking at others' contracts edit or revise your contract and repost it. Keep your ecological footprint score and ecological commitment contract to include in your Autobiographical Portfolio.

So without naming names I'd like to mention that I'm seeing fair amount of rationalization and excuse making rather then commitments. Also, listing what you already do is not what I was looking for. What NEW changes are you willing to make to lead a more sustainable lifestyles?

I know that making meaningful life changes is the hardest part of the quest for sustainability. If it wasn't it wouldn't be an issue. Still, it is the challenge we all must take. If not us who, if not now when?

In reference to the previous posts and discussion. If we see that historically human society has struggled to live in balance with nature, and many of us are unsure of our ability become sustainable at all..... So what do we do now? Give up and hog it all? Can we perhaps evolve, if not fiscally then culturally? What are your thoughts?
