My statement of this class

This class made me realize that global warming is a very big crisis that we as a world are all facing together. A lot of people do not realize how important it is, because it does not affect them directly. But they should think about their children or their grandchildren, and think what they would have to go through if we do not find a way to fix the problem. The class really made me open my eyes to what has to be done to save our environment. Of course, fixing global warming is not done that easily- many steps have to be taken, but even the smallest contribution from each person can help, such as turning off lights and applications when they are not in use, carpooling or biking to work instead of driving, recycling, etc. This is a responsibility we all have as humans, since we are the ones that are killing the planet with our pollution. I think education is the best way to create awareness. Schools should encourage a sustainable lifestyle more. As of now, there are a lot of people who are trying to fix the problem, but not enough. We would need everyone to take action in order to reduce global warming.

Class Statement

Here's my shot at a class statement for the exhibition. Let me know what you think, or if there's something I'm really missing. I figured I'd keep it around 4 sentences otherwise it's too much text and people will be less likely to stop to read it.

"The actual meaning of sustainability gets lost in today’s green-washing jargon. People might think it’s in driving a hybrid car, or reusing a grocery bag, or as simple as taking a shorter shower. They’re both right and wrong. Sustainability is a global effort, a change in our lifestyle and thinking, and we have a long way to go. It’s easy to get desensitized to the plethora of facts and numbers, but big change starts small, and global change starts in your community. "

Visa Mastercard Commercial

Hi all,

Here's a commercial made for Visa Mastercard. Its about a kid trying to make his dad more eco-friendly. I thought its a nice way of informing people to be more environmentally conscious by starting small and ends with a significant effect.
