1. What was most interesting to you in reviewing these resources?
    Dr. Johnson’s TED Talk dived into the idea of performing climate actions in ways that you enjoy. It was interesting to me how there are so many pathways to go through in order to help avoid climate change. Many people assume that helping with climate change involves working with nature or fossil fuel emissions, which may not interest everyone. Fortunately, there are several other works that factor into climate action, such as energy storage and transportation, which people could get involved in to help make a change.
  2. What did you learn from these resources about ocean conservation?
    I learned that ocean conservation is not as simple as just regulating where the trash is sent. There are a lot of policies already set in place by world governments that would have to be changed by everyone to have a lasting positive effect on the planet. On top of that, there are industries that would have to change what they do to contribute to this, such as the trash or recycling industries. Trying to implement these rules could change politics and economies across the world forever.
  3. What new questions do you have after reviewing these resources?
    One question I have is how can people start working on climate change right now? If someone was truly dedicated to making a change in the world and trying to restore our planet, where could they go to start? Which organizations work directly against climate change and how could you get into these organizations? These are all questions that people who are serious about climate change would want to know so they do not waste any of their time in the process.
  4. What do these resources tell you about the types of people that do science?
    These resources show me that the types of people that do science are those who have an interest in the inner workings of our universe and a skill that could help discover more about our universe as well. Dr. Johnson shows that not everyone who works on climate change has to have ecology or environmentalist skills. Not everyone who contributes to science needs to have every set of scientific knowledge on their topic, they could contribute with math skills, or even communication skills.
