Hi @Doodles7498! I watched your #lighteningtalk and was wondering if you know where our recycle go? #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@Emily_Oh_157 Hi Emily! Even though technology brings us much convenience, I do think it distances people, especially children, from connecting with nature. As I said, children spend much more time in front of the electronic media than outdoors.

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@AbigailSerna12 Thank you for answering my questions!

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

Hi @AbigailSerna12! You mentioned the importance of educating people about #fastfashion in your #lighteningtalk. I was wondering what will be an effective way to educate people? #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@AbigailSerna12 This is such a great idea! I believe visual image of the people making the clothing will effectively catch people's attention.

#Coronavirus is no longer one country's issue. It's a global issue that we need to fight together.

[Jack Ma Foundation @foundation_ma]

Through a donation of 500,000 testing kits and 1 million masks, we join hands with Americans in these difficult times.

Hi @seal_ya_later! I'm not very familiar with the EU Seal Ban. Why did EU ban seal sale in the first place? #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

Also do you think the government should play a stronger role in regulating #fastfashion?

Hi @SImamura0811! As a student, how can I help people who are impacted by Green Gentrification? #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@MelindaSkipwor1 @IpinceKatherina For a lot of these workers, this is how they support their families. They don't have a choice.

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@MelindaSkipwor1 Wow this is so cool! It's amazing to see how things have changed with new seasons.

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@earthkrystal @Envir495F @seal_ya_later I agree! I think we need more help with clearing up misconceptions. The "big numbers" and "striking news" presented by the media created much panic but did not really help the public understand the virus.

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

My perception of risk would also decrease because school closure can help reduce #coronavirus transmission. In fact, school closure, quarantine, social distancing really helped control the spread of #coronavirus in province outside Hubei. #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

It was really cool to hear that people now are learning from the indigenous community about how to manage our land and resources. They have many great insights to offer. #ENVIR495f #scicomm2020

"Highest rates of biodiversity found on earth are managed by indigenous peoples." @MeadeKrosby rethinking how we view conservation. #ENVIR49f #scicomm2020 #biodiversity

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

#GreenSchoolyard is a really cool program that increases children and families's access to the natural world. I will talk about it more in my #lighteningtalk next week. Stay tuned! #ENVIR495f

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@Emily_Oh_157 @Courtne27808572 Thank you for the information. This is really helpful!

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

I think this is worth sharing. #CoronaVirusSeattle

[Amanda Bai @amandabai3]

@AbigailSerna12 @MelindaSkipwor1 That is such a good idea! Their stories are unheard and their work is under-appreciated. A platform to showcase these women's stories will also help the public to learn about #fastfashion and its impacts.

Many studies have demonstrated that spending time in #nature is beneficial to children's #mentalhealth. #childrenandnature #ENVIR495f

For so long time in nature has been viewed as 'nice to have' but not a dominant social need or national priority. #RethinkOutside campaign encourages people to 'rethink' and change this narrative. #ENVIR495f
