Awesome reflection!

Good luck with journey of further learning :)

I totally agree how this class helped me realize that there are so many aspects to sustainability that we may not even think are related

I'm glad you had a good experience with this class!

Very thoughtful reflection!

I agree! Replacing the stigma behind talking about death can help people have more of these conversations and learn about alternative methods of burial.

The first couple sentences of your post really stood out to me as I've heard stories about people spending money on funerals that they could not afford because they felt obligated to "provide the best" for their loved ones.

I like to think that even when you are gone, your legacy can still live on through what is done with you body after death.

I also envision a future where people are in harmony with nature :)

I love the reflection about what you previously thought and your envisioning!

Very informative post! I hope that your envisioned future comes true.

with more individual effort to make a change, hopefully more people can come together so we can make large strides to or envisioned futures

It truly is shocking just how much we are effected by endocrine disruptors, while most people do not even know that they are being exposed to them

Thanks for sharing about your experience about visiting a waste treatment plant and clarifying some misconceptions

mindfulness is super important! if everyone tries to do good, then together we can hopefully make a difference.

To follow up: perhaps sharing more info about good actors to people you know (and then supporting good actors with your wallet with money that would have otherwise gone to bad actors) can garner positive publicity for those businesses. If more businesses see more positive publicity and support, more companies will be willing to be leaders.

Transparency is crucial! The rich have so much power over everyone else in society, and their actions show that in many cases, profit is values over actually benefiting society. I like how you emphasize the importance of understanding what philanthropy really means.

Big businesses have so much power and resources to be able to sway public perception away from the truth. I agree that it is important to take information you receive critically.

Having such a miniscule fraction of society have so much power over how things are run is scary to think about. Philanthropy wont save us, I agree we need other ways.

I misread cooperatives as "corporations" haha. I still agree with your points about the preserving cooperatives!
