First, I want to say that this class was my most interesting class of this semester. I learned so much information this semester and I wouldn’t doubt it if our class knew enough to write a book together about conservation biology. Three ecological concepts I learned about are the importance of preventing deforestation, reducing, reusing, and recycling, and the significance of every link in the food chain.
I learned that deforestation personnel cut down trees and clean out a forest fire for species that are good colonizers and invade. The result of fires is that the soil is dead and completely altered. With forest fires, the whole ecosystem is affected because there is a removal of species, release of nutrients and change in soil activities. …show more content…
First, I will be committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling. I will post posters up about the benefits of recycling in residence halls across St. Edward’s University. I will use my bike ore often to travel in school and to local grocery stores. For example, Walmart, Chick fil-a, Cabo Bobs, Family Dollar, and various stores are all very close to St. Edward’s University, making it easy for me to use my bike and travel. I have completed long distance bike rides so I am definitely aware of the benefits that cycling has on health, mental fitness, and it’s contributions to the environment. By using your bike, you are not using a car. Therefore, you are reducing harmful gas emissions from being released into the atmosphere and aiding the health of animals living around you. On a larger scale, global warming is affected by the amount of harmful substances that have entered the ozone and other layers that are supposed to protect us from harmful rays. Over the last fifty years, vehicle usage has increased dramatically and now many places around the world are having record breaking heat waves. This intense heat is resulting in damage to polar ecosystems and melting …show more content…
It is more convenient for me to not use oils at all.
Fourth, I will continue to learn and teach others what I know about conservation biology. For example, I will motivate others to use their bike more often. I am currently on the cycling team in my hometown of Brownsville, Texas. I can recruit friends from my golds gym to join me out on the road and enjoy a unique way to get around town.
Lastly, I will do one beach cleanup every year and consistently pick up trash when I see it on the side of the road or in public. I have participated in beach cleanups except not on the consistent basis that I plan to take part in this summer. Overall, this class has been the most influential on my life and made the most difference on my perspective about conserving and saving ecosystems. Ten years from now when I have children I plan to take them to West Texas to visit the pupfish and take a nice dip into the Comanche hot
