As an aspiring teacher, I want to pass on this knowledge I have learned onto the next generation. If we forget to emphasize how important it is to take care of our world, the nature we know and love will cease to exist in the near future. Outside of lecturing students, I also see myself pursuing research that involves pushing for environmentally conscious practices, bringing along the values I have learned in this course. This course has opened my eyes to the complex topic of sustainability, and with that brought some hard conversations with both myself and others. I intend to be continue to actively involved by reading books to stay informed, taking part in environmental conversations, and potentially volunteering for initiatives that align with my values. Maintaining this ongoing involvement is essential to steer towards a sustainable future.
