When I am 100 years old, it will be hard to pass on all the knowledge I have acc**ulated throughout the years. Just doing the smallest things to contribute to the planet and its well being go a long way. People often take for granted what they have been given: their lives, their loves, their personal possessions, to the very planet they live on. Never take advantage of the things you have been blessed with.

How do People React in a Pandemic?
A pandemic is preventable, and, even when it happens, preventing it from becoming worse it possible. Many people do not understand it.

For Urgent Evoke Season 2, I think there should be a script about kids being brought over from all around the world to discuss all the issues gone over in Season 1. By doing this, it allows a social debate about real world issues. The majority of the people who have taken part in this Evokation are the younger generations, which, in a sense, are the ones who are going to eventually have to assume the responsibilities of protecting Earth and all of its country's well being.

Bartering is trading goods without using money or any form of currency. Nicole's Barter Bank was designed to do just that. What someone might really need might be in high supply in a different society. By doing this, it allows people to help each other while helping themselves. These banks are located all around the world and becoming more and more popular with the loss of many different currencies. One commodity is starting to take over all others. Converting money is a thing of the past.… Continue

This quote really inspired me to dig deeper and research more about just what money's role in any given society is. Money really has not always been treated the same and continues to be used differently throughout diverse cultures and societies.
"Money is an invention of the human mind. The creation of money is made possible because human beings have the capacity to accord value to symbols. Money is a symbol that represents the value of goods and services. The acceptance of any object…

Being a student, I am always either writing or typing. Having a pen or pencil generate energy when writing on paper, chalk to a chalkboard, expo marker to whiteboard are just a few ideas that come to mind.

In my LEARN4 blog entry, I mentioned that having more advanced water conservation system can be more expensive than those that do not save or clean water as efficiently. Start by going over what methods of infiltration your school uses and seeing how they choose to recycle their water. If money is what they need, talk to students about the importance of water conservation and and start a non profit organization at your school to help save water. If this catches on, you can go talk to other… Continue

EcoSchool Design was my favorite water conservation article because it best reflected what I can personally do as a student. By knowing where the water goes and following the pipelines throughout the school, you can get a better idea of how to conserve it and infiltrate it. Some schools have taken things to a higher level and taken water from their bathroom sinks and toilets to be purified and reused. Of course, I'm assuming these purification systems are more money. If people put in a decent… Continue
