My favorite post is US vs. Uganda Part 1. I like this post because I compared global warming, a current problem, to WWII, a past problem. I like the consistency of my posts, I like that they all connect. I like my greedy comment because it sparked a good response.
I think my main goal has been to get people active in trying to solve global warming. My post could offend people but I am not really sure that I care as long as they also get people off their butts and working to help the environment. I think that I am doing the best I can to make that happen.
As far as the learning part goes, I’m not sure anything I have learned would be on a test. I have learned things that no one could learn from a text book because they are objective to the point of teaching people the facts. I haven’t learned the facts, I don’t know the carbon emissions of countries by heart, I don’t know all the projects people have set up to help solve global warming, and I don’t think that I should. I have learned far more important things. I have learned that you don’t have to be wealthy to help others, maybe it’s even the opposite. I have learned that you can fix a problem you didn’t cause. I have even learned that people of different cultures and different native language can work together to make a big difference.
The only thing I have had trouble with is contacting an expert. I sent out nine emails to nine different 14 and 15 year-old teens in Uganda and got one back. I have since replied and he has not sent me anything in return. I await his email.
