Reflection Week 5&6
Ok...so the last couple weeks have been pretty busy in Environmental(blogging). I cannot believe that we are already six weeks into the semester. Where has the time gone? CRAZY! And....Break is almost here! In week 5 we had a lot going on, and eye opener, reading review and a documentary! oofta..;) The second eye opener was called CSPI..Center for Science in the Public Interest. This is a site where you can go and take calculator quizzes which will tally up your effect on the environment just by living your life each day. This really opened my eyes to what my impact on the earth is! I really have to start thinking about my actions and what they do to the environment. Great eye opener! In week 6 we watched a documentary called " Future of Food." This film was very interesting and really inspires me to go organic because of all the pesticides and junk that they put on food these days. It kind of made me mad because a lot of the big companies do not tell you what they are putting into their foods and which ones are GM foods. I never have thought about food causing side effects until viewing this film. That is a scary thought! Nothing is safe these days. We also did a lot of blogging during week 6 and a lot of commenting! I have to give everyone props for their Share&Voices...some really good ones out there! Keep it up bloggers:) I am getting better with the blogging process...which is still a slow one. Haha! Thanks everyone for the great comments and Kaileigh for the Award!

Katie, it is so funny how the past two weeks seem to have flown by for ALL of us! Im glad that you saw slumdog also! It was great! and like you said above all of the share and voice posts are so interesting and fun to read! Keep up the good work and on a side note unrelated to class ....if you ever want to work out I know I saw you had a fit pass we could all go as a group I know some of us in class try to go a couple times a week and it'd be great if you did also!!:)
ReplyDeleteKatie-
ReplyDeleteThese past two weeks have definitely flown by! Hopefully the next two weeks go by as fast! Good job winning the award!
Hey Katie!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you found some inspiration from the documentary! It kind of sucks that food corporations aren't required to label what's GM and what isn't. I also am pretty proud of our class. We are all developing some mad blogging skills! Including yours...You won the award!
Katie- you mentioned in your post that after seeing "The Future of Food", it inspired you to go organic. A question that I have for you is, how do you know that what you are eating isn't genetically modified? If you remember from the documentary, genetically modified foods don't have to be labeled. For the sake of starting a healthier diet, and to avoid all of the diseases that could be associated with genetically modified foods, should they be labeled? Great Reflection!--S
ReplyDeleteKatie~ Great Post!! It really is crazy on how time flies by when your blogging!! I do think that we need to label GM foods some how...it really is sad that we have to worry about eating these GM fruits and veggies....what is safe to eat now a days?!? Keep up the good work!!
