People need to understand this better, as even the smallest things that people do every day, can place the environment in a position that it cannot come back from. So it is important to educate and keep people aware of the situation. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[Cindy Phung @Phung4C]

Just a small increase in global temperatures results in a cascade of doom: rising sea levels, heat waves galore, extreme ocean acidification, and intensification of our current 6th mass extinction are just a few to mention.

I agree, credibility is one of, or maybe the most important things when deciding on including an article/ source can be used in the final paper and argument. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[bk @nitratewater]

When reading articles or web pages regarding news or reports on events, discoveries, or anything else seeking to inform an audience, it is important to check the credibility of the author. On top of that, it is wise to check their sponsor as well. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

I feel the same. As a writer, I really never have looked at my progress of work and reflected on it. Now I see all the things that I've learned and improved on since the start of this class. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

The portfolio and curation process has been an incredible view of my growth as a writer in my first ever writing class in college. It has shown my growth over time and feels very fulfilling.

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Finding a variety of NOGA sources is definitely something that I will hold onto in my future research projects. It is important to mix up our sources to as you said, go deeper in our critical thinking. #39CSustain

[Jvluu1 @Jvluu11]

#WhatIlearnedin39C There are invaluable skills that I have attained from this class due to actual writing and research. Things such as researching as issue and going deeper into critical thinking. Finding NOGA sources that I have never known about for my own personal use.

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

With all that is happening right now, it can be seen that social media is a very powerful platform that could spread the word across the globe and also unite people together. #39CSustain

[Henry Schreiner @henry_schreiner]

I also learned how important Twitter is for both finding ideas and spreading them. People spend a lot of time on Twitter, and while there is a lot of fluff, there is a lot of great content. #WhatIlearnedin39C https://t.co/XkXbz0pNXx

It is clear as day, that these cars that emit more smog are the main cause of air pollution and it is is shocking to see how many deaths are related every year to it. Here is an informational pdf on the exposure to air pollution from vehicles. #39CSustain

I believe that fixing/ improving the LA Metro could be a possible long term solution in improving the air quality and air pollution problem that LA has. Here is a project called "Twenty-eight by '28" that the LA Metro has in store. #39CSustain

This is an excerpt from my advocacy project. There are many roadblocks in solving the problem of air pollution and our own president is one of them, as he tries to implement a plan that would loosen car emission standards. #39CSustain

This organization does a great job in providing up to date information and advocating on improving Los Angeles's environment. It is great to support a page like this as they promote the well being of the environment and community of the city #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Seeing how the city of Los Angeles constantly stays amongst the worst cities in terms of air pollution really opened my eyes to the severity of the issue. It isn't right that over a third of the year that the city faces high air pollution days. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Peer reviews are also another important step in the research process. A writer wouldn't realize many things that could be improved in their work many times, so it is important that others can look over and give feedback before you finalize anything. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Up until this class, I didn't realize how beneficial Twitter can be towards research. By following many pages on various topics, a researcher can really keep up on up to date information on their subject and incorporate that into their papers. #WhatIlearningin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Scholarly search engines have been extremely helpful in gaining knowledge and research on various amounts of topics. And on top of that, students can gain that sigh of relief knowing that they can filter for scholarly, credible sources. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

I've always known about the problems of air pollution from vehicles, but I didn't understand the severity and extremes that this problem has caused for the city of Los Angeles and on climate change up until this class. #WhatIlearnedin39C #39CSustain

.@LungAssociation's 2019 #StateoftheAir report found an increase in the number of Americans living with unhealthy air, compared to the 2019 report. Here is a snapshot of the findings, by the numbers: https://t.co/zUr95DKO3D

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

It is important to support petitions such as this to help contribute to helping solve the problem of air pollution #39CSustain

[Moms Clean Air Force @CleanAirMoms]

How can you help clean the air? Take #ClimateAction (while baby naps)! https://t.co/GxKtABtWt0

[350 Asia @350_asia]

It’s high time for India to examine its energy choices, fix its air pollution crisis, & resolve environmental conflicts, given that the region is one of the most vulnerable to the #climatecrisis. https://t.co/Aus2cnoBzS #justrecovery

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

Those working with la metro also have their hopes to increase public transportation. They are pushing to increase the number of places people can transit to, along with reducing the number of cars leaving a much greener footprint on the environment. (8/8) https://t.co/4OAPYaf5MZ

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

The city of Los Angeles is a big city with a population of about 4 million people and LA County consisting of about 10.2 million. With this much people populating that area, Los Angeles has faced the problem of air pollution for many years now. @39CSustain #39CSustain (1/8)

[JohannMagbitang @jpmagbit]

How would we get people to act on this? People respond best to incentives. Increasing the number of bus routes and lowering fees for public transportation is a start. As well as increasing prices for parking and gas that which people would see their cars as a disservice. (7/8)
