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.

It's a good point that we used to use the natural sources with simpler tools in the past, but things have changed now. I think education is definitely one of the most important thing for the people. Good connection here, jimmy kimmy!!
I like how you responded to the second question that McDonough pointed out. Yes! Education is a key! Young peoples are the hope for future generations. What we do know deeply impact the future generations. This is also what Hawken said in the book-- we should educate people, not through endless, wasteful advertisements.
Nice post!!!
I agree with how you mentioned education is important! I think the RIGHT education is important; we don't want to learn things that are not true and things that will not help us!
