They used many recycled stuffs for making a creative job. Basically, their work represents IB learner as a brain because the program requires students to use their brain to think and think with no doubt. Actually I thought they were gonna make a lamp at the first hahaha.
I like the way they made it. It connected to the class because we, as ESS student, we’re supposed to be natural lover and they apparently did it. Their work used recycled materials found in the class which were perfectly matched with their final result! Awesome !
Their poster represents as a flower that are made from many bottle caps. I think their design are simple but it’s still cool though. Keep it simple is my motto anyway.
This is my group’s work. I personally think it’s just awesome lol. The way we made the earth as a centre is simple but perfect for understanding. We all must give a big thanks to Pete for awesome drawing! But I think we have to organize the words and provide more space for the better work.
I think sustainability contains many wide range concepts but in my opinion, the main idea is to help student develop their skills as far as they can. Anyway, I still have question that how SE will impact an education we’re having now and how could we, as student use it to gain benefit in our study life.

The growth of the modern environmental movement in outline

– Green awareness became widespread and powerful in developed nations.
2000s: Cimate change, a time for action?
– Scientist are becoming even more convinced that Climate change is occurring due to fossil fuel use.
– Five areas identified as needing attention globally were: water and sanitation, energy, healthy, agriculture and biodiversity
Environmental perspective
– Ecocentric worldview is a life centered view which respects the rights of nature and dependence of humans on nature so has a holistic view of life which is earth-centred
– Anthropocentric or Technocentric worldview is human centred in which humans are not dependent on nature but use it to benefit the humankind.
MEDCs have an anthropocentric or technocentric worldview.
Technocentric world views include cornucopians and environmental mangers
Cornucopians – people who see the world as having infinite resources to benefit humanity. We can solve any environmental problem and improve our living standard by technology and our inventiveness.
Environmental managers have stewardship worldview – Think that their duty is to protect and nurture the Earth
Biocentric thinkers see life as having an inherent value.A value for its own sake, not just for humans.
Various environmental worldviews
Communism and capitalism in Germany – Communism claimed that their system could produce more wealth than capitalism and distribute it more evenly, solving issues including environmental degradation.
Native American environmental worldview – They tend to hold property in common and rather use subsistent economy to barter goods than use money and low-impact technology.
My strongest is open-minded because I always respect other opinions.
My weakest is thinkers, Im not a creative person but I will try to think in different ways more in the future.
