This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

Inspiring. It's a pity that climate change is irreversible, because most aborigines have been living in the same areas for thousands of years, and their cultures will be lost when they have to move; by no fault of their own, they chose sustainable ways to live, refused to indulge the absurd notion of civilization. But with the carelessness of "Our" culture, this exploitation of the earth and its resources, we've ruined things for those who live in communion with the natural environment.
