Before taking this class I was always interested in what is really going on in our environment. I was really interested in the debate about global warming and how is our place we called earth is really affected by it. After taking this class I believe that recycling is an important issue in my life, especially plastic.  I realized that what we have going on is working for our environment but I want to figure out and help with all the extra e-waste and plastic that we are sending out to other countries like china. There has to be another way to fix the e- waste problems because I feel like other people from other countries should not be affected by the things we consume.  We use up about 250 million tons of waste in United States alone and only recycle 82 million. We as a society need to use less and buy fewer products that are harmful to our environment.  The thing that I can do is try to keep my electronic products longer, keep them in good shape so I don’t have to buy new products in the future. If I can fix it I rather pay less so I can keep what I have and save others lives.  Like I said earlier the thing I learned I thought is very interesting is recycling. Visiting the landfill really opened up my eyes towards a lot of things I didn’t know especially about methane. I didn’t know that we can produce certain gasses through our trash. Also, how they were designed really amazed me because they really had different sections for different things. This class was really interesting, I wish I was able to focus more and learn more but do to current situations it made it harder. This is a great class that everyone should take; it may change their perspective towards the environment like it did to mine.
