Something I learned about in Bioligy!
Hello, everyone. My name is Malaika Stanley, and I'm excited to get to know everyone on Swell and listen to what other people have to say. This week Tuesday, we were talking about global warming and the greenhouse effect in my biology, in my freshman biology class

That's really interesting. Malaika. How many? How could you get to one Earth? What would you have to do? Do you know, like not fly or not eat or eat meat? What were the biggest factors? Curious

I think that's so wonderful that you're learning that. And I'm wondering if some of the other students shared as well how many they would need and what their reaction was. I think a lot of people don't really know how much carbon dioxide we each put into the atmosphere each year. So I'm just curious to see if you were able to hear if there was time in the class for that to hear other people's reaction

So that's about 50 hours for just our summer trip. I might just do it again to explore, but it's so unsustainable the way we live, isn't it? And what are we willing to give up to reduce our footprint? It's a really good question. And being a global citizen living not in my home country, I think it's really quite challenging. Yeah, really good food for thoughts. Thanks

So, yes, we have all of us, each of us, the way we eat, the way we build our houses and individual responsibility at the same time, we need to be trying to have the larger industries change because they have so much bigger impact. Can you imagine eggs on oil or shell and their global impact?
