It's important for students to seriously consider their own place in the environment. Environmental degradation is the result of resource extraction, use, and disposal, so I want them to consider how they are living their lives, what kinds of products they buy, what kinds of vehicles they use, and what kinds of foods they eat. After all, they are now making choices that will stay with them for their entire lives.
