Week 13

"the human species is living as if it had more then one planet to occupy..."

I do have to say that I agree with this quote and I think it is scary. But in my normal life this fact is not something that I personally see and this is the same for many others. I do not see where all the waste goes or all the CO2 that is being emitted into the air. This problem is not personally affecting me at the moment. And I am not saying at all that I do not care about this issue. What I am saying is that since it is not apparent to so many people it is hard for people to have any interest in changing. Many people are not educated about these issues so they see no reason to change. But this is a huge problem. It is a problem that keeps getting worse. Sometime in the future we will have big consequences for our actions.

This weeks discussion...

This week on Biodiversity I learned a lot. There were a lot of different things covered. I think it is good to be educated on things like GMO's. I personally would like to see companies go with the natural route but that is just not the way things are headed unfortunately. What I did find interesting was everyone's comments on the slingshot by coca cola. At first I thought it was a good thing for the company to be doing. But after hearing everyone's comments it seems like they are just trying to look good. I think that coke and other soft drinks are very toxic and addicting. And it takes so much water to produce soda. But although coca cola motives might not be the best I do hope that this product could help other countries in water crisis'.
