Sustainability

Medeiros is a great educators. Though not quite as strong as a speaker as Lynn, he is a wealth of knowledge and his enthusiasm runs deep. I think the overall feeling of his lecture was that humans have a responsibility to uphold the environment. This ties in well with the video we watched on consumerism and "affluenza". We have a responsibility to help our environment. He said in his speech "we forgot we need to care for Earth". I also liked "all for bling". The amount of what I call "gross" consumerism and greed in our society is horrendous. I don't think the free market was meant to cause this stuff, but it has. We have let our values change and become hollow. I always try to link for other people why things like a healthy environment is important for a healthy people and is important for a healthy economy. These things are all related. They are all intertwined. Just as we are all intertwined.....don't break the thread.........
