BM Reflection

Unit Essential Questions:

1. The biodiversity and natural resources of Earth provide essential ecosystem services, such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation, which support human well-being and economic activities.

2. Human actions such as deforestation, pollution, overexploitation of resources, land use change, climate change emissions, introduction of invasive species, and alterations in water management significantly disrupt Earth’s natural systems, leading to biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, and threats to ecosystem health and human well-being.

3. Engaging with topics like biodiversity and natural resource conservation deepens understanding of sustainability by highlighting the interconnectedness of ecological, social, and economic systems. It underscores the importance of responsible stewardship of natural resources to meet current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Reflection Questions:

1. This project deepened my understanding of the buses being sustainable. Before this project, I did not think that was the case.

2. Again I would say the buses.

3. I participated in everything except for putting the slides. I was sick and couldn’t do it, but tasks 1,2,3 and 4 were all done with my help. I am proud of how it turned out with the physical copy of the project.
