Well class is over and although we didn't actually meet very times I did learn a lot. I am glad I got to spend the last few weeks learning about something that is actually interesting and relevant to business today. Although it was depressing to hear about how there are way to many people on the Earth and we are killing the environment and ourselves it was also a real eye-opener. I think the things that hit me the most were the clips of speakers that we watched and the movie The 11th Hour. It's one thing to listen to a lecture about facts and figures but it is more interesting and more impactful to see the pictures of what is being done and hear the ideas of experts in the field. I think I could describe my time in class in three words. Scary. Enlightening. Encouraging. I know it seems like the world is coming to an end at times but there are also so many things that we can do to change the world for the better and help the seventh generation. After taking this class I am even considering a sustainability minor back at Miami. I don't really know if I could fit it in since it would be my second minor, but I do at least want to take a few classes and learn what I can. So good job on making a study abroad program where I actually enjoy the traveling and the learning.
