Thanksgiving: Key points from all 4 videos: In summary, the videos point up the fact that we live in a generation that is socially engineered to ignore reality. Unfortunately, many people lean themselves into a reassuring lie, rather than an inconvenient truth. These neglections causes extremely and inefficient global consumption which...

THANKSGIVING: The overall message from the four videos is that our society's focus on constant economic growth and consumerism is unsustainable for both the environment and our well-being. They advocate for degrowth, which promotes a shift away from excessive consumption towards a more meaningful, balanced way of living that prioritizes...

Thanksgiving: From what I understood, each video targets some different aspect of environmental degradation by explaining it then offering solutions on what can be done to ameliorate it. In particular, the topics of each video included, ecological footprint, carbon footprint, degrowth, and economic inequality. For the most part, they all...

Tanksgiving The videos made me realize how our lifestyles, especially in rich countries, are pretty bad for the environment with all the carbon and ecological footprints that we leave. Degrowth, which means focusing less on making money and more on living simply, could actually make life better by reducing stress and helping the planet.

Thanksgiving: For Thanksgiving this year I am grateful that my family has always prioritized sustainability. We’ve been reusing the same silverware and plates for over 20 years, never turning to plastic or paper. It’s become a family tradition, and I appreciate how it reduces waste. We also make sure to buy just the right amount of food for the...

Eco challenge week 8 (Plan to Insulate) Making your home more energy efficient with better insulation is about keeping the heat in during winter and out in the summer. Adding stuff like weather strips around doors and windows helps stop drafts, and using thicker insulation in walls and the attic traps more heat. It’s an easy way to save on...

Eco challenge week 7 (Learn About Aquaculture) Sustainable aquaculture is basically about farming fish and seafood in a way that doesn’t hurt the environment. It's all about finding ways to keep the water clean, use less feed, and make sure different species can live together. A cool method they're trying is growing different kinds of fish and...

Thanksgiving Clearly indicated in all 4 videos, our carbon footprint is way too high than it should be. Our Global Footprint Network (land and water) need to produce the resources we use and absorb the waste we generate, our biological productive area being our provider. We have nearly enough space to handle the amount of waste we use, and...

On Thanksgiving, we usually prepare a lot of food but unfortunately, most of it ends up in the trash because we overcook to make sure that no one goes hungry. This year, I recommended to my parents and relatives that we prevent exaggerated preparation and just preparing food for the right amount of people. Furthermore, rather of using throwaway...

Thanksgiving: Carbon Footprint: Amount of co2 that is put into the atmosphere. Big part of the ecological footprint. Using carbon produces greenhouse gasses that make earth warmer. These emissions must be reduced. We should address root causes for Co2 emissions instead of investing in carbon offset. Ecological Footprint: humanity uses more...
