I assigned our first essay of the year: "Why Should We Care About the Environment?" This essay is due Tuesday, Sept 5th.
In order to stimulate the thinking process needed to write our essay, we started watching the documentary "The 11th Hour". Notes could be taken during the video about reasons why we should care. More ideas can also come from three readings that I have posted on our website: "An Ecosystem of One's Own", "2 Degrees of Separation", and "Enter the Anthropocene - Age of Man".
