What I've learned

In this class, I feel like the something I have learned is to be more aware with what I do. I've always been cautious to not litter, try to stay on the path, and things like that, but this class has showed me to look more in-depth at things. Over spring break, I was in Colorado and went on a couple of hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Park. Besides the gorgeous views, I looked closely at what I was doing and what others were doing. I started to notice more, like people off the path, leaving apple cores, and having their dog on a hike which specifically said no dogs. It was very interesting to look at things with a different perspective on how we could be harming the environment around us.

Before one of the hikes, I noticed a sign that had the Leave No Trace Environmental Ethics. I was very happy to see it and relieved to see how people are trying to help out and keep the awareness alive!
