Personally, I think the point of this class is to take a dialectical view of environmental sustainability because each individual action has a ripple effect on the environment, and I like the freedom of expression and reflection in this class.

I agree with you that this course brought me not only academic discussions about environmental sustainability, but also a future approach to change and a hopeful outlook on future sustainability.

I agree, one of the things I liked about this course was that I was able to see the future course of change needed from the different perspectives/areas of environmental issues involved

I think your point about social media over-saturation is novel! I don't think human communication can be replaced by social media. Maybe it's time to put down the phone and go talk more with the people around us.

I like your vision, choosing sustainable death options is not easy for the general public, traditional burial methods also have a significant environmental impact, they are very resource intensive and the government should provide more opportunities for improvement when looking at the funeral industry.

I like the fact that you are exploring the sustainability of life from the novel perspective of organ donation, which indeed brings life into another cycle and maximizes the function of the available organs.

I agree that rewilding requires cooperation between man and nature, giving nature the opportunity to rebuild its rich and biodiverse state.

I like your point that green funerals actually abide by the principle of creating self-healing conditions for nature to restore the land in an ecological way.

Your idea is promising, and green-oriented and family-oriented burials are showing us sustainable alternatives to traditional burials.

I think your idea is very promising! Openness and transparency about data can help technicians assess environmental standards in real time and ensure that assessments are fair and accurate, but I think one fact that hinders this idea is that many companies fund environmental assessments as their investment rather than as a public good

I agree with you that replacing single-use plastics with organic materials such as starch and other natural fibers could greatly reduce reliance on CO2-emitting fossil fuels, but do you think the cost of these materials would be a deterrent to their being implemented?

Disposable plastic is a huge hazard to the environment, and I found by reviewing some data that less than 10% of plastic waste was actually recycled in 2019, and alternatives such as biodegradable plastic are a good idea.

I agree with you, unfortunately many times it is difficult to improve the environmental hazards caused by plastic production by public consciousness alone, laws and legislation are mandatory but they are very useful.

I am sorry to know that billionaires use charity to influence public policy and divert public attention from their dubious business ethics and that charitable giving is transformed into a business model. I believe that money donated by philanthropists should be collected as taxes and spent in accordance with government priorities.

I like your point of view! I think in addition to the government need to take action to regulate the operation of the company, the business itself also needs to operate transparently on the basis of high level of information disclosure, clarity and accuracy through open communication with all key stakeholders.

I think all companies are struggling to quantify the return on their sustainability investments, and what matters most to entrepreneurs is that a sustainable strategy of inaction may mean greater losses in the future. Failure to find a profitable strategy only leads these companies to produce a vague, unfocused sustainability plan.

I totally agree with your idea! A strong sustainability proposition can help a company explore new markets and expand into existing ones, and not having a sustainability strategy means losing a lot of good employees.

I think cheating the law and avoiding taxes through charity is a way to hinder social sustainability and business sustainability for people who own assets they created, who rely on the external and often fabricated market value of their assets, and report that value for deductions. I agree with your view on the DAF tax cycle, do you see any difficulties in its implementation?

Hi Bellie! I think the extent and severity of wildfires are indeed driven by climate change, but human activity not only increases the risk of fires it also changes climate patterns, and variable weather tends to extend the fire season, resulting in still more days when fires are likely to occur. I believe that it is the responsibility of the government to develop integrated management of all aspects related to risk mitigation and prevention, fire suppression and post-disaster recovery plans for wildfires.

I had similar thoughts to you! The impact of wildfires on ecosystems is twofold, and people often condemn the environmental pollution and ecological damage caused by wildfires, but the most overlooked part is the role that controlled fires can play in maintaining biodiversity and promoting promoting the regeneration of forests. I like the example you have here which is really interesting!
