Earth Day Week | Overview


Globalization

This week we discussed a few different issues about our planet. First we discussed about what is globalization. We watched and discussed a video about how many different countries are involved in the  process of producing t-shirts:

Sustainability & Environmental Concerns

In 2050, the world's population is estimated to be at 10 billion, and the demand for resources will be 60% greater than it is today (Hutt, 2016).  Think about our lifestyle, and how our future will be impacted.  “Is our way of life sustainable in the future?” As we discuss this big question, we also watched Greta Thunberg Ted Talk about environmental concerns tat impact everyone of us.
