Hard to believe we are done with #ENVIR400. I have thoroughly enjoyed this class and felt that I have left with so much more knowledge on how to communicate about the environment. Anyone else?

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@langm77 Really enjoyed your lightning talk on reframing the rhetoric around invasive species! Such an interesting topic, how did you come up with it? #ENVIR400

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@KatieJerauld2 @heatlovesnature Blown away by this stat too! I plan on being more conscious of my consumption and buying patterns. I hope to thrift shop more and buy second-hand!

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@connor_a_flynn @heatlovesnature Totally agree! Such a fun experience.

"The revolution will be live-streamed." Very interesting article on environmental activism during COVID times. Check it out! #ENVIR400 #clicktivism

Really excited to hear all of our panelists speak tomorrow! I personally want to ask them all about the 'trope of uncertainty' and how they manage that in their fields of work! #ENVIR400

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@madisonadams_uw Love this idea! These platforms are so popular already, we might as well utilize them for positive change.

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@AmayaBerge @MiriamGoldste @NatGeo Super interesting article! Thanks for the share.

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@GretaThunberg #FridaysforFuture was so successful- do you have any tips on how to actively get individuals involved in environmental activism? It feels like nowadays social media has made us "lazy activists" and more likely to engage in clicktivism (or slacktivism) #ENVIR400

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@cassidycainpea1 I thought this idea was super intriguing. Initially, I would think to send a letter directly to the environmental employees. After hearing our panelists argue this new idea, I completely agree!

@pseanmc Facebook is ALWAYS listening. 🙈

Some quick and easy tips to spot greenwashing! #ENVIR400

[Footprint Foundation @FootprintFND]

#Greenwashing is when brands try to make you think they are environmentally friendly when they aren't. Green labels, unsubstantiated claims, and more all contribute to greenwashing. Here are some questions to ask to determine whether a product is trying to #greenwash you! 🌎

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@AmayaBerge I think by first reducing plastic production we will force individuals into change. (as we know humans tend to be stubborn)

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@YehDanica I really struggle with this! A company claims to help the environment but I never do an adequate amount of research to really find out if they are putting "their money where their mouth is".

Here’s a piece of news to brighten your day! #ENVIR400

@KaitisTherese I would say I live at a "normal level" considering that I don't really notice the noise. But now that I am thinking about it, I could just be habituated to the louder than average level I live in.

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

Hi #ENVIR400 friends! Need you to be honest...do you feel that the internet has caused you to become lazy activists? Do you more frequently engage in slacktivism (or clicktivism) because of the ease of social media?

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@AmayaBerge Very cool! Thanks for sharing :)

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

Excited for the seminar today! Especially excited to ask our panelists their views on the 'shrinking news hole' in environmental journalism. What are you excited to ask? #ENVIR400

[Sam Fults @FultsSam]

@ellen_goncher Awesome! Thanks for sharing, this helps so much!

Have you ever heard of 'Copy and Paste' Clicktivism? https://t.co/mJSFFsj7y9

"People who do the “copy and paste” clicktivism subconsciously feel like they have done their part, and are far less likely to do anything tangible in the real world to fight that cause." #ENVIR400
