Intro

This is my introduction to the world of blogging, so bear with me. Last semester in my biology class, I had a particularly good teacher who helped inspire me and made me think about how I live and the consequences of my actions pertaining to the state of our planet in 50 years when it will be inhabited by our grandkids. I understand that my opinion may be a bit biased and one sided as it is largely based on one source, but I really think that we humans need to reflect and perhaps change some of the ways we treat the earth. My biology teacher was so passionate about this subject that I think it necessary for me to learn more about my responsibilities and stewardship as a member of the human race. Our actions need to show how grateful we are for our planet. I am not expert on the subject, but I figured this would be a good way for me to find out more and get some information on something I am interested in, all while fulfilling an assignment. I want to explore the facts about greenhouse gases, deforestation, global warming and its real risks (or lack thereof), and any other interesting things I may find in my research about how we are currently taking care of our planet. My title and URL may seem a bit too environmental, but really the title came from a Jack Johnson song that I find particularly catchy, and it fits my topic. The two were a perfect match. Hopefully I can convey my true feelings and gain a non-biased opinion on this subject and help other people form their own opinions, which may lead to actions and changes in the way people live their lives.
