Journal Entry 1

I did not have many expectations for this class coming into it. I did not hear a lot about whether it was a good or bad course. All I really knew is that it was about the environment, and maybe a bit about FGCU's ideals concerning the environment. Having attended the first class I think I know a little bit more about what to expect from this class. I want to know what are truly environmental concerns. What the facts are and who has "the best" facts. I don't like being lied to about what animals are dying, what chemicals are or are not hurting the environment, and how much the sun is going to warm the planet in the coming years. I want to see facts, physical evidence, and statistics on what is happening, and what we as citizens of earth are doing to either hurt it or help it. Also, if I am going to be doing this much work, I might as well learn something while I'm at it right? Oh, and I do care about the sea-turtles professor Muldoon so we can agree to disagree on that one.
