So I made it through the class...

What have i learned?

Honestly i don't even know where to begin.
I learned so many different aspects of sustainability from the motivation for living this way to the larger issues affecting our planet.

This class has definitely been a personal experience for me in which I have grown not only as a sustainability dude but also as a human being.

Sitting through lecture, examining slides were helpful and educational but the seminar allowed me to get my hands dirty and do the work of sustainability. I was one thing for me to learn about being sustainable, a whole nother thing to actually go out and do it.

Some of the changes in my life that I directly credit to this class are that I now compost my food wastes, I no longer drink from plastic water bottles, I'm joining sustainable youth for next year, I eat lower on the food chain, I turn off the lights when I leave the room, and I'm even more passionate about the outdoors and saving our beautiful planet.

Doing the composting project really opened my eyes to the amount of work that needs to be put in to remain sustainable. I had to shovel and dig and turn smelly rotten compost, but in the end it was worth it to have reduced my trash flow and fertilizer consumption. It was also difficult resisting drinking water from water bottles that were always around. it was always a hassel to go out of my dorm room to fill up my water bottle with water, but I still did it.

I learned a lot of skills in this class and with all that happened, sustainability will always remain close to my heart. Class reunion sometime guys.
