Like I stated on the blog post for it, I am an animal lover and cannot stand the idea of making whole species or more, extinct for the sake of “nature species”.

And the idea of animals being harmed or abused makes me upset. This passage just really shows me how our actions as humans effect animals and the wildlife. We as humans are the dominant and superior species. Because of this we have to use our intellect to not only protect one another but animals and out plant as well.

It got me to thinking, if we can not even take care of the species that are already present on the Earth, how can we be expected to care for new ones? Not only would we have to keep a close eye, they could also cause damage to the ecosystem in ways we can not reverse.

I’m not an animal activist or pro-animal right or anything like that but I do have a soft for injured and harmed animals. I don’t think I could ever by choice become a vegan or vegetarian. The story just really made me think about how much of our actions effect wildlife more than we care to realize. Littering, pollution, deforestation, and etc. all harm wildlife and nature itself. Just the little things you do every day that are so normal to us is hurting the world around us. These animal and plants are alive just like we are, we should respect that. Animals may not have the same intelligence like we do but they do have emotions and can be hurt.

I was unaware light pollution was even a concept. The thought of how the artificial light in cities and towns affected the nocturnal animals and insects really interested me. I try to not use my phone as much before i go to bed. I love to have some form of light source while trying to go to bed, but I have tried to limit that by turning off the TV or dim my lamps.Christen Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114543860308258118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-10048861125055117252017-12-10T12:58:14.592-06:002017-12-10T12:58:14.592-06:00The article that most challenged my thinking was &...The article that most challenged my thinking was "A world without darkness" by Adrienne Rich. This article really made me think about all the modern gifts we have in this world and if it is doing us more harm than good. I wondered if we should actually be living more like the first humans, not only with technology, but also food. I started rearranging my life a little more. I fell healthier because I try to make things from scratch and try to be more mobile instead of sitting in front of screens too much. I actually turned the night light on all my electronics and encouraged my family and friends to do so as well. This also impacted my school semester because I wrote a proposal essay on this topic for English 101. I was so happy that the things I was reading were actually helping me better my personal life.

Before this arrival this was not something I really thought about. I felt as though humans would be as fine as night as they could be in the daylight. But as we get closer to winter right now, and daylight gets shorter, I realize how much the sun can really impact your mood and Health. When it’s dark all the times, it puts a damper on your mood and you feel somewhat depressed. It definately affects your mental health.

The article discussed some of the human activities that affect our environment. It made me realize how our behavior plays a huge part in the world around us, every action has a reaction. My thought process was very similar to the butterfly effect and I thought to myself "Well, if all of our bad actions have an effect on the world, wouldn't our positive actions have just as much of an effect if not more?" After reading the article, I began healthier behavior for both me and the environment.

It reminded me how I used to read fact books and the dictionary all the time, and would even fall asleep reading them. And I see myself now, and even though I'm still very curious, I don't try to learn new things anywhere near as much as I used to. I also thought about why people are curious, and if there even is a definitive answer. What I came up with so far is that as humans, we want search for the truth, and we wish to understand the world around us, which causes us to connect. Also, I believe every human being feels like something is missing, and so we want to find out what is missing for us. But wanting to understand our world and connect with each other, I believe that is the most compelling of my answers, and that we were made to communicate, and even with all the miscommunication that's especially going on today, we still all want to connect. I could write for hours on this, got me thinking so much.

This one stood out to me and was so intriguing because it is a topic that I have thought about before but I never really took any action. Knowing what effect artificial light can have on the world and also on our own health is a major problem that isn't really talked about much. I've read articles before that have talked about how bad things like cell phone or computer light is for us but it doesn't really seem to be a problem that many people notice, and if it is noticed many people choose to ignore it. I also really enjoyed how at the end of the reading there were different suggestions that people can do to reduce artificial light and such. <br />This article helped me to understand how I can be effecting my health just by using my phone or computer which are both things I use every day. It provided me with insight and motivation to use these things in moderation.Kelsey McNeilnoreply@blogger.com
