Composting infomercial

What: The creativity of this compost is without being said and uses a nice blend of colors to grab your attention on to certain details and aspects like the pie graph, also I like the drawings of the brown and green items.  This infographic has relevance to the audience because it stays to the point and doesn’t stray off on stuff that doesn’t matter.  The infographic is intellectually stimulating because. it gives a lot of relevant and easy information to get the point across.

Gut: Honestly the emotional response I got from this was happy with the cartoon cows.  The information that 250 million tons of trash was produced in 2010.

So What: Something I had not thought of before was exactly how much trash humans produced, and it has probably become more since 2010.  I think the perspective the author was trying to bestow with this was that we produce a lot of trash and a lot of it can be composted and reused and is relaying what can and cant be put to a better purpose than a landfill.

Now What: I think that the stuff in this infographic is important and should be included in an infographic created by the class.  The information on how much trash we produce should be included to really put things into perspective.

UGArden-Bradley Howard

In this picture, I see the compost sifter from the UGArden that the guy showed us on our visit.  What I really notice in this picture is just how old this equipment is with most of it being rusty.  If I remember the man correctly, he said that this machine was somewhere around thirty years old.  This picture and this machine really surprise me, and I feel upset that we are using such older equipment in our school’s garden and the compost for the garden.  When I look at this picture, I feel upset because I believe that we should have more money going towards this great initiative on our campus to maybe get better, newer, more innovative equipment and possibly expand the project further.  This machine, to me, shows that more funds should be allocated to the UGArden.

Introduction

  1. I took the regular classes in high school: biology, chemistry, and two Physics, and have yet to take a science course at UGA.  I actually haven’t taken a science course since my junior year of high school.  Out of all of them, i’d have to say I liked either chem or bio the most because physics was just absolutely terrible.
  2. id like to get a better understanding of the material in this class.  I’ll be honest, when I signed up for this class, I thought we would be learning about like how the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, but nos that I know that this is not what the class is about, I would like to learn more about the soil and the ways we can reverse climate change.
  3. I guess I’d like to learn about how we can stop the misuse of antibiotics in our society and how specifically they hurt the soil.  Really a basic run-through would be nice.
  4. I think the issues to appeal to my fellow students would be that climate change causes weather extremes and nobody likes it to be too hot or too cold, or that no one really wants to die from infections nowadays.
  5. With helping with the service project we can learn how to head change and be the leaders of change to get things done that we want to be done in the community.  Really we can get a good understanding of how to go about changing the bad things in our community.
