During this week's classes we have been talking about peoples connection to nature. A lot of students when asking about interactions between human and nature is thought to be negative. We always hear about climate change and how it's affecting the earth, the warm weather making the ice in the Arctic melt, causing animals like polar bears, that habit that area without a home and they are slowly dying. Although that does not mean that all human and nature interactions are or have to be negative. Last semester I took a seminar called Sustainability we learned about ways to help the earth that can also benefit us as well. We read an article in the class called “Thinking Like A Mountain.” In the article it talked about how humans hunting actually benefits the ecosystem since there are less deer. We also went to the garner and learned more about the plants and how they can grow off each other in the garnered and how we can also help them grow and use them once they are fully done growing.
That is a really interesting trip. and I agree that people are taking to many resources which causes climate change.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many factors going into climate change and so the ecosystem declining and a lot of these factors are negative I agree! Humans hunting is a very interesting positive affect on the ecosystem that I never knew before!
