My topic (#blog 7)

I'm going to write about global warming. Recently, I see that a big ice begins to melt rapidly from National geography magazines. As the magazine mentions, it causes from climate changing.
I want to write why global warming is happening and how it can be affected to environment and our life. I have my own resources here:

1.http://lwf.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html#q1
This site is about Frequently Asked Questions for global warming. This site provides all information about global warming and it also offers basic knowledge about global warming.
I think this site is good because most of thing in the site are my quetions about global warming.
Thus, I conclude that I can use and I also can provide to information for people who do not have any ideas about global warming.

2.http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/a/antarctic_ice_sheet.htm. Here is several articles about global warming. This website has many materials about global warming, such as Antarctic ice or climate changing. Moreover, this site has some lists about global warming, so I can check and get various informations about global warming from other sites. This site focuses on ice melting mainly more than the first site.Thus, it can be good examples about global warming in my research papers, so that's why I choose this site.

3.http://www.wanttoknow.info/globalwarmingmediaarticles-20-20
This site includes how many people care about environment. It especially deals with how experts and politicians have recognization about environment. In my opinion, politicians and scientists are people who should care environment more than citizens because they can carry out a useful policy for environment. Thus, I think that this topic can be used how many people care and what people are doing for protecting environment.

Reflection

Actually, When I took the class in the first time, I wondered what was this class about.
I knew what was ecology course, but I actually didn't understand why I should take the class.
Before I took the class, I didn't think about environment seriously because I was too busy too care of myself. However, the class made me changed so much.

Actually, what I impressed was Al Gore's book and presentation. Al gore researched various materials and reminded importance of environment. Of course, I knew environment was important and I had to protect environment. However, I didn't care so much because I believed that somebody would do that and that was not my job. However, Al gore made me realized why I should concern about environment and what I should do for environment. After I took this class, I realized and understood about environment deeply. Moreover, I could have responsibilities for protection environment. I cared much time how I protect environment. For example, when I drink juice, I'm not throw it away. I try to put bottle to recycle.
As like this, this class taught and reminded me how environment was important in our life.

Moreover, I liked presentation about buddhism because I knew what was role as human beings in this planet. In fact, when I was taking class in school where was located in Korea, I learned about Buddhism. However, I didn't like that because it was too boring to me.I just had to sit all days and took a note what professor talked. However, the presentation made me interested because I could find any interesting materials for me in websites or blogs. I could do anything myself. Moreover, buddhism taught me how I ignored environment and how the planet where I live was essencial to me. Thus, the presentation also provided a lesson to much for me.

Moreover, blogs was helpful to me. At the first time, I hated the blog because I didn't use computers and I didn't want to work on the weekend(sorry, but this was my actual thinking).
However, I realized why professor made me worked for blog. I found blog was interesting after a few days. I could share my thinking with other classmates and I could read what they thought.
I also could give my comment to them and I could share information with them. I could know how many people thought differently. Thus, blog also taught me useful lesson what I should learn as a member of classes. That was my reflection for this class.

My feeling about five blogs.

In fact, I visited five blogs and I feel impressed so much.

1) The Sustainable Cities Blog: This blog has various information about environment. The blog
has many posts about environment , such as climate changing, so I can choose whatever I want to see and I can get many information so much. Moreover, What I like in the blog is many links for people who have interest in environment. The blog has a lot of websites and organization of environment.

2)Gristmill blog: In fact, when I looked at this site, I didn't like it because I thought that this blog has too many political aspects. Thus, I thought that the blog didn't have any materials about environment. However, after I read articles in the blog, I changed my thought because it shows how many politicians care about environment and how they try to solve the problem. Moreover, the blog has mant articles and it shows how many people in American care about environment so much.



3)Green as a Thistle: I loved this blog because there are many parts which can attract me.

Moreover, I like her personality because I'm cynical person too like her. I especially like her lists, such as lovingand regret list because she shows that she does something for environment herself. When I saw tow blogs, I didn't sure they really cared environment. I thought that they just wrote some paragraphs and put some articles from somewhere. However, in this blog, the blog made me realized importance of practice.



4)No Impact man: This blog had materials about environment too. The blog had some articles about environment, however other blog had articles about environment too. Thus, I was not surprised and impressed by anythings. Moreover, the blog has not any fresh things which can distinguish with other blogs. However, I felt impressed by some articles, such as Al Gore's new campaign.



5)Eco Geeek: This blog has some ideas how people protect environment by creating useful machines for environment. I think that the site is very useful to people who want to have information about environment.
