@SyonaNR This was one of my favorite things that I learned from your lightning talk! I never knew this either, but while it gives me hope for possible medical advances it also makes me wonder, is this kind of research being done in a humane way? I sure hope so for the sharks’ sake!

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@Timobay_ @lillian_400 @_katya_roz Yep I definitely relate to this too. I think this was one major take away from the lightning talks assignment overall. It’s cool to look back at my drafts and watch my script get shorter and shorter and realize I don’t have to talk at lightning speed! (No pun intended) 🥳

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@lillian_400 I loved your lightning talk and appreciated your candid discussion of the environmental implications of beef and dairy consumption. I’m curious, as I eat it a lot, do you think plant-based meat could have its own environmental/health problems we aren’t aware of yet?

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

I loved seeing everyone‘s lightning talks! I think my favorite part had to be learning what everyone‘s unique environmental passionate is. You all have such unique interests, makes sense that everyone always had such valuable contributions to add to our course this quarter!

@maddie_rutter I loved your lightning talk about Western centric ideas and their impact on our relationship with Nature. Have you ever read any Val Plumwood? She has some cool ideas about this topic that intersect with ideas of environmental justice.

@DrKWilkinson @allwecansave Wow this looks awesome, thank you for sharing this!

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@DrKWilkinson I'm an undergraduate student researching the benefits of nature-based education and I'd love to hear what you think is the best way to introduce young students to environmental studies and topics climate change! I'm hoping to learn all about the topic #ENVIR400

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@SyonaNR @envir400 I've been scared of sharks for way too long especially when they should really be the ones afraid of us! Here's an interesting graphic to consider from @/connectforcause on Instagram

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@Timobay_ @arianicw This is a really interesting topic, Ernesto, that I hadn't considered before hearing about through your research! I'm excited to hear your presentation next week (crazy it's a week away already)

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@TimesEducation as an organization that explores the future of education and possible changes, do you have #naturebasededucation on your radar? If so, where do you stand on its possible benefits? #ENVIR400

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@cole_svec Yep I've been looking there too. Either super expensive or too far away! I guess I'll keep browsing though haha

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

In the spirit of reducing waste through product production and emissions, I'm looking to buy a used bike! Anyone have any bikes they need taken off their hands? Know anyone selling? Or maybe a good place to look on a student budget? #bike #sustainablecommute #ENVIR400

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@EricD141 Thanks Eric! I'll definitely check those out

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@_ariayang It sounds like we have similar topics and I'm also struggling with this! I'll definitely let you know if I find anything

[Sam Huss @SamvHuss]

@SOuLupdate That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing that.

A fellow outdoor teacher calling all folks interested in or involved with #forestschool, what has been the most enjoyable activities for your students? I'm looking to expand my repertoire for my kids! #GetChildrenOutdoors #outdoorlearning

Check out this beautiful short piece by Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring, who discusses the beauty within a child's young mind in her novella, "The Sense of Wonder." This reading put into words a very familiar feeling for me as an educator.

This source, "What is Education For" by David Orr, highlights the purpose of education, how it aligns with environmental education, and the cost of today's failed education system. It's an interesting read about the benefits of #forestschool ! #ENVIR400 #
