1) How do you think different students view climate change? Imagine you ‘wear your own pair of green sunglasses’ when looking at this issue. Can you identify the value in multiple perspectives?

“Candidly, I don’t really take climate change into account. Do we even have to care whether it exists or not? I mean, it’s not affecting me in anyway.” Henry, my classmate uttered in such an ignorant way during one of our chit chat sessions. “You ought to care because one way or another it does affect you as far as living on earth is concerned. Climate change to me has a very defective impact. For instance, coming closer to home, Kenya, it has caused the food instability in our countrydue to delayed rainy season and extended droughtthat is really draining our government’srevenue that is used to import foodstuffs leading to bankruptcy and damaging the economy.“, Tamika, one of the participants in my group responded convincingly. “As much as we loathe climate change , it is indeed quite beneficial. It is argued that climate change has brought about less winter deaths than before. Cold in actuality is the biggest killer” yet another participant responded.

As I was sitting listening to this debate I came to a conclusion that either Henry did not understand what “climate change” is or his exposure did not measure up to reality. Because of Tamika, Henry had to go back to his research engine and dig up for data. Myriad perspectives, I discovered aids on the outlook of climate change.

Making use of renewable natural resources more than non-renewable resources.

Use of cheap clean alternative energy.

What impact has colonization had on our journeytowards a sustainable planet?

Colonization, it is argued ,has brought an impelling negative impact towards successfully obtaining a sustainable planet.
