We are just hours away from heading to Boston to begin our epic adventure of exploring being green from multiple perspectives. As we think about our place in this world, and how we contribute to the environment both positively and negatively, I urge you to think about the choices you make on a regular basis, and whether or not you care about the impact your choices have. Our group is focused on exploring the broad theme of what it means to live a "green" and sustainable lifestyle from multiple viewpoints. Some of these viewpoints are:
1. "I care about the environment and how my choices effect our environment."
2. "I don't care about my choices, if something was really that bad for the environment it wouldn't be an option for me."
3. "We should be more conscious and take an active role in helping to contribute to the environment in a positive manner so that we can help put a stop to global warming."
Our hope is to explore how acceptable or (un)acceptable our actions and choices are in regards to the environment. We will do this by visiting such venues as SeaPort Boston (an eco-friendly hotel in Boston), Arts for Humanity in Boston (a LEED certified building), as well as investigating eco-friendly consumer options in the Boston area, and conducting street interviews to survey the general population about how they feel about "being green."
Keep checking back for updates and how we investigate these questions as we embark on our Junior Urban Adventure!
