Hi Anna, This was also my first time taking any ENVR course at UBC and I can say that I definitely learned a lot and yes, it's always important to fact-check any social media resources.

Hi Meagan, I also loved the Cosphere aspect of this course. I enjoyed learning about others thoughts and opinions about the topics we learned in class.

Hi, After this course my understanding of environmental science has also changed and deepened. I hope to raise more awareness about climate issues we learned in the class through the education and solutions I learned from this course.

Hi Sarah, I agree that I liked the aspect of no exams and tests which takes away a lot of the stress. It makes it easier to learn and throughly enjoy the topics taught.

Hi Suragan, ENVR 430 was also a different yet, rewarding and an amazing course. The discussions were definitely really inspiring and knowledgable.

Hi Sophie, Great post! I agree that the information in ENVR 430 is so valuable and definitely raises awareness about important climate issues.

I agree that death is a taboo subject and there is a lot of stigma around discussions regarding death. Discussing eco-friendly options and alternatives are necessary, as you said.

Hi, Aging is a scary process and can be quite challenging to cope with for many. I agree, that aging and disabilities have a lot of stigma around them and awareness and education to remove the stigma is important. I envision a world where people are comfortable discussing death and eco-friendly death care options.

Hi Robert, Death is a scary topic. Everyone should feel comfortable discussing death and death care options, which does require vulnerability.

Hi Adam, Death is definitely a hard topic to discuss about. I also hope to see a future where people are more comfortable talking about death and death care options.

Hi Sharon, Yes, I think funeral homes should be mandated to share all of the options rather than just the costly ones. There should be more awareness about alternative eco-friendly options regarding death care.

Hi Destinie, thanks for sharing! We definitely need stricter laws protecting endangered species. Education and awareness about things we as humans can do to help is also important and can be done through media coverage.

Hi Vy, I agree that going plastic-free is a actually a really difficult task to do and will take some time. Biodegradable packaging is a great alternative for companies that use a lot of unnecessary plastic for their product packaging.

Hi Bhavin, It is great to see you put your own contribution to plastic reduction in the post. If everyone were to play their part in plastic reduction, it would definitely make a big difference.

Hi Eunee, I agree with your post, I think for long term sustainability it is important to incorporate some strict laws or policies regarding plastic use.

Hi Kevin, There is a lot of plastic used in packaging and some interventions could be making stricter policies and laws regulating the plastic use by companies!

Hi Vani, I agree that banning plastic use is a big task and is quite difficult to implement.

Regulation of the certifications would be a great movement in increasing the transparency between businesses and buyers. There is definitely scandals/unethical movements that businesses are getting away with which is completely not right.

Hi, Great post! Another possible intervention could be educational/awareness campaigns or programs to educate others for positive change.

I agree with your value of prioritizing low-income families, rather than making the rich richer. The rich should not have access to evade these taxes.
