This topic was the most interesting to me as it’s something rarely talked about and I felt more awareness should be shared to let people know what they’re putting in themselves daily and why they feel the way they do. Students may look at the school lunches as normal and nothing more, or even rely on them sometimes, but a lot of them don’t realize the harm they are doing to their bodies. This PSA is to help the youth make better and healthier choices guiding their eating habits in the right direction because there’s always good sustainable food available. I think we did well with our videos giving real life examples and the information we gathered. The most meaningful part was explaining the benefits of eating healthy and why it’s important in the long run. Each day we could help ourselves just with this minor switch in lifestyle for a much better one.

Unit Essential Questions:

What value do we see in the biodiversity and natural resources of the Earth? Many species help their environment thrive through what they carry, reproduce or bring.

What human actions are associated with altering Earth’s natural systems? Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, transportation and farming livestock.

How can individuals, communities, and or nations live more sustainably? People can use reusable things more and focus on the quality rather than rushed, or incomplete processes/choices that only benefit a few rather than an entire unit.

Reflection Questions:

How did this project deepen your understanding of sustainability? I now understand how significant clothes can really be especially when made properly and the importance of their production speed rates.

What information surprised you most? Why? I was mostly surprised at what the clothing industry mostly uses to make clothes (animals and plants of the biosphere). I didn’t know this previously!

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

Contributing to my groups project I helped design the blueprint of our physical model, and found sustainable practices for our business. In our physical model I came up with the idea for the flags and what could be seen outside the windows before walking in. I was mostly proud of my group’s effort and staying on task.

From our findings we were most surprised with how to reduce damage and the positivity of Earthquakes.
