Reflection: Week 9 & 10

Another two weeks have been checked off besides the fact that it was only one week of class. None the less the two weeks happened to be educational.

Week 9

In week 9 Dr. V. started to give us information on the advocacy project and what the goal of the project is. We were introduced to the very first step in our advocacy project. That included each one of us designating our advocacy project representatives. Later in the week we were then given pointers on being photographers to prepare us for the photo essay. Overall this week wasn't to busy but it did prepare us for the future.

Week 10

This week we had out of class work to do being the Dr. V. was at the AAHPERD convention. The only thing everyone really had to focus on was the photo essay. I felt that it was hard to take the photo essay to high standards if you only had a point and shoot camera. Especially one that is a couple years out of date. I knew I should have spent the extra cash on the Nikon for my first camera. Either way it was fun.

These two weeks have proven to be a little more laid back, which gets me thinking that the upcoming weeks are more than likely going to be busier.

Eye Openers: Photo Essay

My plan with the photo essay was to show how it is quite simply to be environmentally friendly in a couple different ways. I think a lot of people feel that they must go to extremes to be energy savers and environmentally friendly which is not always true. Every little change in the way you affect the environment or use energy can add up to have an impact on the way you help out yourself to become more friendly to the environment.

Thinking back to my childhood years, It made me think about how you might have started out to be environmentally friendly without even knowing it, mainly because you learned to ride one of these...Over the years I have added to my collection...I'm proud to say that a bicycle and a longboard are the means for most of my transportation during the summer.







Don't forget that while your cruising around on your bicycle its always a good idea to be hydrated...but its even a better idea to be hydrated by an ecofriendly canteen...


So if you are using one of these ----->

It's not a bad idea to switch to
<-----these.






To be incredibly friendly to the environment you can use your bike to cruise on down to a local hardware store and purchase one of these... By far a very wise purchase...a money and energy saver! Speaking of money saving.


With the harsh winters in Duluth heating bills can be costly to us college students. Saving energy is as easy as putting plastic over the windows.








It's the simplistic things that can be done to show your environmentally friendly awareness and by doing them will make you feel better about your contribution to saving the environment.
