The Binoculars (Sci Service Learning)

• What are three big issues that create problems that our service is trying to address?
The three issues are: pollution hazards, the affects of pollution on humans, and the effects of pollution on the planet.


• What else could be done to change the situation:
o Locally people can stop pollution by taking the bus instead of driving or even using Hybrid vehicles. People can even clean up their neighborhood.

o Nationally people can stop throwing away products that can be recycled and used for other things.

o Internationally countries can research more evironment friendly forms of energy, like Solar power or nuclear power.

• How will service learning change your future behaviors/attitudes/and career? In my future career I will be more concerned with the health of my world, than myself. Instead of using products that effect my environment, I'll buy products that help my environment. Like using bottles that have alot of plastic in them or recycle my aluminium cans and containers

• How is the issue/agency you're serving impacted by what is going on in the larger political/social sphere? Pollution is a big topic in the government and whoever is the president will decide whether Americans will stop contributing to CO2 omissions. Global Warming is one the most talked issue in the world, for it effects everyone on the planet, even the animals.
