I think the blog Practical Environmentalist is awesome because of it contents are related able. I love the blog on bottle caps because I always wonder what and how some items are recycled. This blog does not focus on one environmental problem or tell you what you should or should be doing. I also loved that there are pictures accompanying the blog entries.
I love the blog written on November 1st, 2008 under the heading Bottle caps and recycling---are they recyclable? I love this entry because it explains the process that goes on what your garbage reaches these recycling plants. I also love that ideas are given on what to do with items that are not recyclable. I loved that show pictures on what to do with bottle caps I might try some of these things.
The blog is awesome because it is very informative and well written. I don’t feel preach to just facts and ways to improve the environment. The section 21 Practical Ways to Help the Environment gives good suggestions on how to live green by changing simple things in your life. I am going to try some of their suggestion especially the one about fixing leaks in your home and the thermostats.
I hope this blog is awesome to others but for me it is awesome because I will be able to follow some of their suggestions without having to spend money. I used to believe to live or go green I would have to change everything in my life. Change is really hard but reading some of this blog suggestion I can go green by taking baby steps and still make a difference.

Blog on Group Presentations
It was really nice to learn about other people’s religion and how environment plays a role. It was nice to learn that Islam is a one of most peaceful religion since many people and the media believe otherwise. I think if as a people we take time to learn others religions beliefs we might have a better understanding of each other. I especially like how most of the religions that were discussed have respect for the environment and the animals.
As humans we tend to treat animals very cruel by invading their space and destroying their homes for your own selfish needs. It was nice to learn that most of these religions forbid mistreating animals. One of the teachings of Islam that I found interesting is that they believe that nature should be seen as a mirror which reflects the power beauty, wisdom of its creator. Which I totally agree with God created the earth and as humans we should be thankful and respectful.
I also enjoy learning about the World of Daoism with ying and the yang I believe in that belief about that balance can’t have love without hate. The simplicity of which most of these religions teach their followers to live their life is good for the environment.
From these presentations I was able to come away with a better understanding of these religions. I think other religions should tried be more environmental friendly which would make a better world for all of us. Since most people live and believe in what their religions say is right.

My research topic is how illegal timbering, the world needs for logs and Indonesia’s government has destroy half of they country forests, putting the country wildlife and some tribes out of their homes.
1) I picked this topic because Indonesia forest has been declining at an increase rate which threatens communities and the environmental implications will be devastation.

2) Illegal activities by the government and others have destroyed most of Indonesia forest. Causing landslide, floods and even fires yes some people start fires leaving parts of the country in thick smog.
