The experience I had from this colloquium class is something that I will take with me for the rest of my life. I have learned of a few more issues that I was not aware of before taking the class. Before going into the class I was not thrilled to have to take it and just wanted to get it over with. After hearing the lessons and doing the reading assignments, I have learned that this is an issue that is causing problems all over the world and not just here in our back yards.
The best experience I had from this class was the hands on work we did by going on the field trips (to EHCO, Corckscrew, and Estero Island) and the service learning we had to do for the class. On the field trips, we learned about how they were trying to preserve these natural areas of our Florida Everglades for not just the environmnt and our health but also the animals that call those areas home. We have taken so much from the animals and have even killed off many species in the process of doing so. A lot of it has to do with the climate change that we have caused to worsen since the Industrial Revolution.
I intend to continue to improve the environment even after the class is over. I am going to carry it with my in my career too. Even though I am still unsure what I want to do the rest of my life I know it will be something in business. I intend to run a green business to help maintain a sustainable environment so that my chiildren can grow up and live a long and healthy life like I will. It takes just one person to start a movement, so why can't that be me?
