INSTRUCTIONS Need to answer given question on the basis of scenario in 1 page, double spaced APA style Some of you might think, "Why aren't you talking about Global Warming, Species Extinction, Ozone Depletion, Deforestation?" etc. My answer is this; you You will care most about Where You Live. Those challenges will be real to every Habitat might chose. I have most bemoaned the losses to the environments of Kern County. I have been blessed in that Kern County has at least 4 distinct habitats within its boarders. No One can impact the challenges of all 9 to 10 considered habitats. My grief is increased by the losses to my local 4. Usually I culminate this class with your dreams of perferred habitat locations. I will never stop promoting following dreams. You will regret more, the dreams you did not persue, than the dreams you didn't succeed at. This time, I'm changing the challenge. As my wife and I have traveled to London, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Hawaii, and other parts of the United States, many of the locations were very large cities, with significant public transit. We lived there long enough to feel what life would be like in those cities. The original challenge was based on my dreams, and the Dream Chasing of many of my friends and family. My brother dreamed of living in the 4,000' California mountains. Another friend lives on a self sustaining, 26 acre, coastal rainforest, in Coasta Rica. Other now reside in the California Coastal Range. Some now live on the Big Island of Hawaii. Your greatest concerns, related to the topics in this class, will be related to whether you deside to live in a location based on your intended profession, or on the natural world around it. Whatever your choice, DREAM BIG. It is better to dream big and get half way there, than to dream small, and scarcely come close. YOUR POST: A) Announce where you dream of living, either by habitat, or regional style ( rural, city, wilds, etc.); B) What kind of skills you would need for that location; C) And what Family/Life structure you would be comfortable supporting (Single, Married Couple, 2.5 Couple, 16 Kid Family, etc.). RESPONCES: As always, need to be productive. DREAM BIG!
