William McDonough- TED

Last class, we watched McDonough's TED talk. As soon as we finished, we began to read a new chapter from Hawken's book. While I watch and read, I had really hard time to get ideas like what's the main idea and what things do I have to get from them. But, one thing I felt really good was when Donough talks about our society from our perspective.
I found a connection from last year GE class.

When humans are starting to live in earth, they invented a lot of things since cave man. But, most amazing invention was using sources, energy and technical devices. As soon as we start use different tools, our society also changed a lot by us. But, have you ever think about real society's problem? How we going to dear with our environment issues? While he give us a presentation, he came up with different questions but I personally felt these two questions are really important and must know it for knowledge.

"How can we secure local society, create world peace and save the environment?" I spend a time to think on this question, but it was hard to say what things we can do. But, after he came up with another question, I got myself an idea.

" How do we love all the children of all species for all time? I think that's our job and homework until the earth disappears.
One thing we can really do is that, educate and make more safety society for our kids and generations. That is what we can really do now. We make most of society problems. Which means, when children's grow to adult, they have possibilities to make another social problems in society. So, we must have our children to make sure educated well on good way or bad way.

I'm not sure my idea is clear enough or connects to our topic, but, I strongly believe that we must keep our species.

Waste not

Before I read this chapter, I thought this story would talk about our waste, but I was wrong. As I looked into it, a lot of thought stroked me, especially when I figured out my internship.

My internship is in PDP LCD Glass site in Tao Yuan Company called CPT. Those PDP Glass factories use tons of chemicals each day for making their products. They dump wastes into water or air. If those companies don't have great systems of dealing with all the wastes, they are contaminating both the water and air, which creates a lot of pollution. All these cause Global Warming.

The reason why I am interested in this chapter is because there are some connections between it and my internship; I can see what's out there in the real world instead of what’s in the books. What I mean by real is that I can actually see how they throw away contaminates. Also, I will learn how to use those machines to either make products or make clean wastes.
I was quite shocked when I read this chapter because of the way author explains about how the amount of our waste are huge and I couldn't get myself over it.

Now, I’m really excited about my internship, which also relates to my senior project. I'm ready to do it and I will share a lot of information with our class.
