@heatlovesnature Your lightning talk today was fantastic! Do you have any favorite places to purchase second-hand clothing in the UDistrict?

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@HTreppenhauer @heatlovesnature This is an interesting point! Some people buy fast fashion to be able to buy more, but many others likely buy it because they view it as the only option. Part of the solution has to be increasing the awareness of cheaper sustainable options #ENVIR400

@Jose_Ah_mez_qua I really loved hearing your presentation on using wood materials for construction, it's always interesting to hear how different industries can adapt to become more green. And those wood tacks were awesome #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@caitlingray27 @JoashSmith2 Same! I was washing a pot last night and while I was scrubbing it I realized I should be turning off the water, which isn’t something I would normally do. Such an impactful talk @JoashSmith2 #ENVIR400

[Georgia Coleman @sagebrushchick]

Blown away by everyone's #ENVIR400 lightning talks today! Hearing everyone's ideas has me more hopeful for the future of our planet! Can't wait to hear the rest on Wednesday

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

I really loved listening to everyone’s #lightningtalk today!! Everyone did such an amazing job and I learned about so many different topics. Can’t wait to hear more on Wednesday! #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@Wilcox11Claire Not sure but I would also like to know!

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

While researching for my lightning talk I learned that (based on mid-level scenarios for CO2 emissions) the Maldives is expected to lose ~77% of it's land by 2100. We really have to act now to protect island nations! #ENVIR400 #lightningtalk

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@anoushka_adhav Definitely nervous, but the fact that we're graded on our recording takes off some of the stress. And I'm excited to hear about what everyone else has been working on! #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@AmayaBerge Woah... would love to know if this is primarily because people just aren't recycling, or if the things we recycle are still going to the dump #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

Super helpful video on recycling! This justifies the hour I spent scrolling through TikTok...right? #ENVIR400 https://t.co/DljXaGLBqZ

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@Wilcox11Claire Too much 😬

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@SenatorDodson I am looking forward to hearing you speak March 5! What are the most important steps non-indigenous people can take to promote recognition and reconciliation? #BluePacific #ENVIR400

[Pacific Islands Forum @ForumSEC]

Our #BluePacific Talanoa series continues! Join us on March 5 to hear from Senator Patrick Dodson, his leadership journey on Indigenous rights, recognition and reconciliation. This event will be live-streamed on the #Forumsec facebook page, https://t.co/T3P0xzlDh1

@Wilcox11Claire But university scientists definitely still have biases and are constrained/motivated by their university's $ and interests

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@Wilcox11Claire I thought university scientists would be more trustworthy because I feel as though they would be less biased - scientists working at advocacy organizations are motivated to find and share data related to their advocacy work #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

Interesting article to read before the panel today. Do you guys think this could be an effective sustainable practice, or is it just an attempt to appear green? #ENVIR400 #EnviroComm2021

@connor_a_flynn @ScienceYeh Same in my K-12 experience. While the topic would occasionally be brought up, it was really a subject you would have to explore yourself if you were interested. Our K-12 system would benefit greatly from prioritizing environmental topics #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

@LCJ2077 What’s tough in online conversations is understanding when a productive conversation can occur - a lot of the time people in online spaces simply voice their skepticism to get a reaction #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

Do you know about the #SAMOApathway and other international efforts to protect small island nations from problems associated with climate change due to CO2 emissions in developed nations? #ENVIR400

[Ellen Goncher @ellen_goncher]

One of the biggest challenges facing #SIDS in the battle against rising oceans is getting people to care. #JasonMomoa speaks about why it is so important to care about this environmental problem #SAMOApathway #ENVIR400

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

"A problem for one will soon become a problem for all."

Jason Momoa reminds us all of the challenges Small Island Developing States are facing.

In our fight for change we can leave no one behind.
