Hungry, Empowered, Motivated.

Above all, engaging with this course has made me hungry – hungry for solutional revelations, hungry for action, and hungry for change.

While the nature of unleashing values has been surprisingly empowering, the societal level changes and transformational shifts required to combat the wicked problems encountered highlight an infinite field for me to continue learning and growing in to produce meaningful environmental advances. Gratefully, encouragement from peers and instructors to pursue difficult conversations and to exercise courage in challenging societal norms has undoubtedly shaped my personal approach to achieving the sustainable societies envisioned each week.

I take solace in the thought that much like the species featured each week, who were able to creatively persevere in uncertainty or adversity, people will do the same.
