Environmental Science Facts.
The most aggravating thing a student ever did was interrupt me in class. Then paused as if he was giving me a pass and said, "that was my opinion and it was OK." I was defining the difference between niche and habitat.
Somewhere, somehow, Rush Limbaugh comes to mind, conservation has become political. I ask why. A healthy environment affects all of us. When they say an incident would increase say a cancer risk by 1 in 10,000, it means 1 person who would never get cancer out of 10,000 gets cancer.
The Flint water crisis is part of this. Just because you can't see the lead in water does not mean it does not have an affect.
So this post is my activism.
The following posts are just the facts of environmental education. No preaching. Just facts.
I love this theme! Can't wait to return for your April posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you Allyse. I hope it is interesting for all my visitors.
DeleteOriginal, interesting and topical theme. Every particle makes a difference.

So very true. The generations that follow me will be making many tough decisions.
DeleteAmen to that! :) Sounds like it will be a very educational theme! People could use some more facts... Cheers!

Education is good for what ails the world.
DeleteApril will bring you new readership for all your hard work to participate in the #Challenge. A theme for teachers for sure. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. Teachers are such a busy lot. I don't have many posts on this blog. But the traffic is incredible. Folks pop in, get what they need. So I don't know what effect regular posting may have.
DeleteThis should be fun. My wife has her degree in Environmental Science. I'll send her your way.

Oh no, I feel the pressure. She will probably be relieved someone regular knows climate change is real.
DeleteThanks for coming by Narayana. A to Z is such a fun event. But it is huge.
ReplyDeleteI love science! Bookmarking now!
ReplyDeleteI like your theme and I like how you will be stating the facts and educating us rather than "preaching" things; looking forward to reading your posts.
ReplyDelete(In response to your comment on my blog, yes we did get rid of a lot of things, not much since we didn't have much. The movers estimate our weight of things to be 4800; of that I'm thinking 40% of it is hubby's musical things, amps, recording equipment, etc, and that doesn't count the 12 guitars he'll be transporting himself, not entrusting them to the moving company. I could easily live in a one bedroom apartment; but I'm married to a musician :)

Sounds great to me! I look forward to your posts ~Lori~

Sounds cool. Always a good topic to learn about.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting challenge, and educational too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteseems wonderful and quite useful best of luck for your efforts
ReplyDeleteSince I am a teacher, I love an educational theme!!
ReplyDelete"Conservation has become political"—YES! And more; not just conservation but science itself. Sometimes it feels like we're moving backwards, into the Dark Ages—when belief, not facts, ruled, and "truth" was taken on faith rather than on the scientific method. So YES, I'll be looking forward to your posts. Eagerly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit over at Life In Dogs earlier, and for the lovely comment. You made my day :)
Sounds good, I love an educational feel to the challenge and i'm looking forward to learning a little more about how we can preserve the environment

Conservation and environmentalism do not always mean the same thing, so I'm looking forward to reading your take on things.

Great thoughts indeed. Warm greetings!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Blogoratti! Great thoughts expressed.
ReplyDeleteAnd indeed just because you don't see the lead in the water does NOT mean it does not affect a person!
ReplyDeleteEnvironmental Science Facts will be a breath of fresh air amongst what I usually see: environmental science opinions disguised as facts. So glad to see someone who knows the difference!
