Review

The eight websites that we were assigned to take notes on all revolved around climate change.The website explotorium's Global Climate Change Explorers discusses the atmosphere and their relationship to carbon dioxide.In the source they discuss how climate change could affect our future and how scientist are trying to predict climate patterns.The next websites focus on the changing pattern of diversity in environmental justice and  major environmental organizations."Ghostbusters in Environmentalism: Black Women (Re)Shaping Environmental Justice" and "How Young Feminists are Tackling Climate Justice in 2016" give insight on the crossroads of feminism and environmental justice.For example: "Hey ho, Patriarchy has got to go!' Women for Climate Justice at the People's Climate March", in which the People's Climate March was held in  New York City.

In my opinion I feel like it was kind of pointless to go through all these texts because they all basically said the same thing.Although I found it really interesting to see normal people (activist, politicians and public figures)as climate justice leaders illustrated as superheros.gender and climate change go hand and that’s something u don’t really realize.It hard to think that things like gender, race and social status can determine our interactions and affects with global issues.Some things were really relative thought.

The food justice workshop I learned that food takes a large spot in history.There we’re a lot of things that done for good problems that still help us today.I also was re-educated on them impacts of food in our history.Although I did learn that when it comes to cooking “blacks” don’t realize the history of their ingredients.It’s hard to learn about something that’s not really thought but is in the history.

Patriarchy

There is a long history of patriarchy and men running the world. Women are often mules in the wrongdoing of men  and are forced to abide by...
