Entry #1

My expectations for Colloquium are to learn how to go completely green; in my house, my car, clothing, and other daily uses. I also hope to learn how to go organic; by growing my own food and to know what organic products to buy such as, make up, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies. Sustainability is the quality of not being harmful to the environment or diminishing natural resources and supporting long-term ecological balance. Sustainability relates to a variety of considerations in the environment. Sustainability would relate to school counseling by using nature as a method for children to relieve stress and go somewhere to think. I could also teach students to conserve resources, recycle,  and properly dispose items such as, battery acid, motor oil, and harmful chemicals. Some of my unsustainable personal behaviors are that I leave lights on, I have more than one light on, I do not always recycle, and I run the water while brushing my teeth. My unsustainable attitudes are, "I'm just one person", recycled materials all go to the same place as the garbage,  et cetera.
