The bio-regional quiz and podcasts both proved to be somewhat informative. Bill McKibben explained in the podcasts about Earth and how it is constantly changing due to human influence. Humans use a vast amount of resources, but replace nowhere near as much that which is used. Supposedly, there will be a drop in energy usage by 40%, but such events will cause a rise in CO2 levels being released into the atmosphere. The Earth of today is vastly different from the Earth of previous years. Technology is increasing and advancing at an incredibly fast rate while more and more resources are being used to accommodate the constantly increasing population. The upside to such advancements has been the creation of social networking sites and well as video chat sites such as Skype and Oovoo. greater forms of communication are constantly being created.
The bio-regional quiz showed just how little people know of surrounding situations. Many do not know where the food is grown of how many days are left until a full moon. Those raised in the country, on the other hand, may have a greater knowledge of such happenings.
