1. Provide a summary of the contents of your video and a rationale for why YOU chose this topic, in paragraph form.

What did you do well and what could you have done differently?

What was the most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA?

My video has a demo of how to care for your home so you don’t get mold and what can happen if you’re around mold for too long. I think it is important for everyone to have a nice home to live in and how to care for your house if it ever gets to that point . A lot of people aren’t able to afford a profession clean so using vinegar, a household item, is super easy. It’s easy for SAHP to clean up mold since it has to sit after you apply it. I personally had mold and learned that vinegar helps clear it up.

I think I did the video well, but I think I shouldn’t have procrastinated so much.

I think the meaningful part is educating people and keeping everyone healthy.

What value do we see in the biodiversity and natural resources of the earth?

biodiversity is essential for environments to survive, natural resources are a part of that biodiversity. How will we have natural resources w/o biodiversity.

What human actions are associated with altering earth’s natural systems? How can individuals, communities and or nations live more sustainably?

Burning fossil fuels, using cars, having land fills of clothes, using plastic. I think if we use solar panels and thrift clothes the world would be a better place.

Reflection Questions:

How did this project deepen your understanding of sustainability?

I’ve always understood how important it is to be sustainable, but now I know that the little things add up.

What information about your chosen industry surprised you most? Why?

That the clothing industry uses a lot of carbon emissions. I didn’t think you had to burn anything to make clothes, I thought it was just sewing

How did you contribute to your groups project? Provide specific examples. What were you proud of, in terms of your overall project?

I did the slides and me and ava did the poster. I did all that in the span of 2 days.

How do the earth systems affect each other? How can an understanding of environmental science aid in handling natural disasters?

• If the atmosphere is off, like too much C02 for instance, it will affect earth in many ways such as, global warming. The Earth has gone up one degrees celsius. Which doesn’t sound like a lot but the summers are getting hotter and if you notice we haven’t had a good snow storm since I was like 3 or 4 ( 2009-2010).

• If we know what in the environment contributes to the disasters, then we can stop them from occurring. We can stop floods by not cutting down trees. When you cut down a tree, the C02 that was in it gets released into the atmosphere which creates more heat. The more humidity there is, the more rain will come in the future. When there’s a lot of rain, it floods.
