That's true! Felt like I learned from researching content to post about as I did during class.

Great post Chris! Every week felt like a seminar or like a TedTalk and I always took something meaningful away from the class. It was such a unique experience to be exposed to hard hitting topics and to constructively write about it not as a scientist or policy maker, but as a person.

It is an interesting idea to spread the values of the course like that. You really took unleash your values to the next level!

The weekly homework was a lot to go through but I will definitely use the knowledge gained from it for a long time, which I can't say about other classes. Great post Robert!

Great post Amy, this course incited many interesting discussions.

That's true, deforestation is such a common talking point especially about the environment, but no one actually does anything because they are desensitized to it.

Wildlife in the city is has many great effects, I am excited to see how people's view on nature would change if they grow up viewing nature growing upwards rather than as vast plains or forests.

Cremation via liquid nitrogen is so new, it is eco friendly but I am wondering how much it would cost compared to a regular cremation.

I agree that body donation should be the default option, especially when there is no real reason to accept otherwise!

Body donation is such a morbid thought especially when we are young and feel invincible. It may be difficult for people to establish they want to donate their bodies without a legal force intervening which would make it quite expensive.

Hi Irina, I love this point! It seems like enforcing consequences on the producer would be a great way to create real structural change. Great idea!

Hi Cindy, you're so right! Greenwashing is limiting the impact of the good actors and it is the ultimate pressure point we can push on to make a change when we think about voting with our dollar. Great job! smooches

No youre so right!! We may feel hopeless but the solution is very much within reach. Im in love with you actually. Great ideas!

Hi Matin! I fully support stronger laws especially in the face of the climate crisis. I appreciate how you talk about actual enforcement and how it relates to your vision. Great work!

I really appreciate how you talked about the plastic pouches we mentioned in class. It seems like such a simple and intuitive solution. You should be the president actually!

I believe that taxing works in theory but in practice, there are many loopholes. What do you think would be a good workaround for this?

This is an interesting perspective! Transparency is useless without consequence, and I really like the connection you make on the systems that allow for the companies to run wild with the current policies in place.

I agree that CSERs have very little power. It is almost like a gimmick that companies use to say that they did consider taking social and environmental responsibility without actually taking action.

I agree, the more sustainable option can often be more expensive or difficult to access such as produce straight from the farm in an urban city.
