INT class has (opened my eyes)

This class has really opened up my eyes to my wasteful life style and exposed me to material that ive never heard before. Im very thankful that Sierra College has a class like this. I think every high school should have this class to open their eyes at even a younger age because as one gets older people as not as open like they are at a yougher age. The older people i noticed are more set in their ways and i would consiter less moldable to change. This class has helped me realize their are many little things a could do to not waste as much as the average American usually does. For example, instead of buying the cheaper throw away razrs that cost $2 i would spend alittle more for a reuseable razr that last and all i would do is buy the interchangeable blades if it gets dull. This way its less waste, cuts down on my pastic consumtion and last longer. The price will be alittle more like 10 bucks but ill be able to get my moneys worth out of it. Secondly this is another idea im going to switch to that will also cut down on my pastic consumtion. I will buy the cloth reuse bags for grocery stores so i wont have to use their plactic or paper bags anymore. The one thing that will be my challege is cutting down on my meat consumtion of chicken. That seems to be my weakness. Ive truly enjoyed this class so much that im thinking of joining a environmental club first then maybe in the future a comittee of some sort. Thank you Mrs Keely for taking the time and giving your energy to teaching this class. Im sure many students arent going to say much regarding your efforts but you know their thinking it. Once again thank you.

  1. This class has also opened my eyes on some of my wasteful habits. I think the razor idea and the cloth bags are very good non-wasteful ideas.

  2. I am glad you enjoyed this class as much as i have. I totally agree with you that the earlier we educate people on what is going on in the world and how we can do simple things to help, the faster we will see change. your right it is harder for older generations (sometimes!) to make these changes. everyone no matter what their major should take a class like this just to be informed about your world and how you effect it! we are all here right!
