Week 1

So it's the first week of class. When I stepped into the classroom for the first time I had no idea what this class was about. There is no possible way in which we can just stop using every resources we have.
Sure alternative energy is an easy answer, but Dr. Thomas really put all of this into perspective for us when he told us what would go into such an operation. The planning, the money, the resources. He also gave us an example of people that are living without any of the amenities that we have. The people of Papua New Guinea have been living on nothing but nature for years and are in better shape than we are.
Where would we begin to put ourselves in a position to abandon everything that we know. There needs to be a revolution a word that I am sure will pop up throughout this journal. A revolution that will put us in a position to further our kind. The sheer fact that we are going to run out of everything that we take for granted at some point no matter how much science or technology we have. The need to find something else is imperative but how is the question.
