20 Time Final Reflection
My 20 time experience was average. I think that I could have tried harder but as i got further into my project I found that I was finding the same information. So I started to slack off. Same thing happened when I talked to
people about climate change. I got pretty much the same causes and affects. However they each had a different opinion of what climate change was.
Going into the project I have a different view of what climate change was. For starters I love to ski. It was one of my biggest passions, if i could ski all year around I would. However Climate Change has caused the snow impact to change. So i wanted to see what else Climate Change was affecting.
There was only so much I could do with this topic. Cilmate Change is not something that an individual can change. And even if everybody in the whole USA changed things in their lives it woiuldnt be enough to change or even stop climate change. Climate change is happening, it has been happening since the beginning of civilazation and meteroligist are predicting that our climate will just keep on changing.
I had a few goals set. However i didn't reach all of them. I wanted a better understanding of what climate change is, What happens when our climate begins to change? why does it occur? and so much more.
I got a better understanding of why climate change is so important. You hear about all the greenhouse emissions, CO2 release, wild fires, health issues, coast erosion that is all an effect of our climate change.
I learned simple ways people could help limit the amount of CO2 that they release in their homes by using solar pannels, walking to school rather than driving or even using a carpool or public transportation, driving an electric car, using energy efficent lightbulds (LEDs). Limit the amount of coal you burn. All these things a person can do. They have to be the ones that have to make the change because we cant force them to change, they have to be the ones that want to make a difference. When people start changing these things, other people will see the change, they will start changing things and then we will have that chain reaction. However someone needs to be the one to start it. Its hard to get the word out there. Some people think it a stupid thing to do however climate change is not stupid, we as a nation are being stupid by not helping.
I don't think I will continue with this project because, i have already learned what i want. I feel that i got a understanding of what i wanted to learn, however i just feel that others don't want to hear it. They don't want to help or change to make a difference in our world. \
This was a fun project to do. I learned what i wanted but like i said. i slacked off after a while. I could have put in a lot more time and effort but i got bored soon into the project. I found that it was hard to keep going. I chose a topic that i thought i would like but in the end looking back i think i rather have chose a different topic, something that could have kept me going. something that i could create a final product. Something that i could take away and look back in a few years and be like "wow, i used that today" you all get what i mean.
