A little late in getting this post out to you for the weekend, sleep overtook me after a busy week of school. Regardless, I still have something I would like you to think about!
I have been posting for about 2 months now (give or take) and have skimmed over many topics - never going deep into any. However there has been enough general information that by now I'm sure you have formed your own opinions on the topics.
Think back to when you first started reading, what did you think then? How do you think now? Do you feel it has been a turn for the better or worse?
I know for me, when I started at Aquinas College, I wanted to go right into the sustainable business program. Freshmen year was filled with environmental classes and I loved it. Sophomore year though was the year the sustainable classes started. My mind was blown. So many new thoughts, ideas, suggestions, opinions, debates (you name it) were happening all around. Then I had Industrial Ecology. That, without competition, has been the most depressing class I had ever taken in my life (and probably will ever). In Industrial Ecology Dr. Tueth teaches you all about what's wrong in the world.
It goes deep.
It gets depressing.
But in the end?
You are more confident than ever that you want to continue so you can make a difference. Even a small one. My viewpoints and opinions constantly were changing week to week, class to class. A new word would be debated as to what it really meant. Kinship or Stewardship? Make or Create? (that's a big one... well... they are all big ones. But this one's even bigger) Those are the sets that stand out most in my mind, and how I felt about those terms were changed forever.
But enough about me. How have you changed in regards to sustainability thoughts and opinions? Let me know in the comments!
