Out of Class Event

Previously in the semester, I watched the Cracking the Zip Code event, an hour-long session that discussed environmental injustice. I unfortunately was not able to attend this event live, but I watched the recording of the session. There were three main speakers that all talked about different aspects of environmental injustice that we see affecting society today. They went over topics such as redlining, pollution (specifically in the water supply in Flint Michigan), issues regarding Wabanaki sovereignty, and even ways…

A little while back in the semester I attended a screening on campus of the documentary “2040” for students in the intro to environmental issues course. The documentary was created by filmmaker Damon Gameau, who was in search of new possible ways to combat climate change.

Fall Revision 3 (Core 4)

Fall Revision 3 (Core 4)

As the seasons change, Everything seems to fall silent. The busyness becomes quiet. The excitement of summer fades. And soon this small beach town will be left desolate and alone,  as it’s visitors return home  until summer comes back around.

Sunset Revision 2 (Core 4)

Sunset Revision 2 (Core 4)

In the stillness of the water there’s a mirror reflecting the world above, a distorted image of the tall trees that bend and dance in the breeze. Peach sunlight dimly glows  subtly behind the tree line, and gray clouds slowly drift past the gradient sky.

that today I went to sit at my new favorite place, a waterfall off a trail surrounded by trees. I sat alone, but I think you’d like it there. It’s quiet and just down the road. It reminds me of that bridge we’d walk to back when snow covered the ground. But now the snow has left, and so have you. . If I could tell you all about this new place I would, maybe during a late night walk…

Mackworth island Revision 2 (Core 4)

Mackworth island Revision 2 (Core 4)

I miss the ocean breeze in the mornings, When life was so simple. I’d wander the trails of the island, I’d spend my days at the beach. . When life was so simple, I’d never worry about tomorrow.  I’d spend my days at the beach, Smiling and laughing like a kid. . I’d never worry about tomorrow,  If I never grew up.  Smiling and laughing like a kid, I’d do anything for that feeling. . If I never grew up,…

Fall Revision 2 (Core 4)

Fall Revision 2 (Core 4)

The burning orange and red of the leaves and yellow as rich as gold, contrasts with the bitter cold that finds its way in the breeze.  . And as the seasons change, it brings a certain silence that is peaceful in a sense, Yet eerie, mysterious, and strange.  . And soon this small beach town will be left desolate and alone,  as it’s visitors return home  until summer comes back around.
