Growing up, all my friends and I played multiple sports and we competed against and with one another. I fell in love with baseball and I still play it to this day. I moved from Dallas, Texas to Bradenton Beach, Florida when I was 15 in order to go to IMG Academy for baseball. I lived in the dorms by myself for my sophomore year and my family moved down my junior year. I want to become a big leaguer and to have a long extensive career in the big leagues. I play baseball here at MDC and I love it here. I have tons of memories here at MDC that I wouldn't trade for the world and I am proud to be a shark. I got to school at the Kendall campus and I am majoring in business finance. I am transferring out next year to Oklahoma State and it will be a completely different experience than living in Miami but I am excited.]]> 2023-01-25 16:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2456404858 Climate Gentrification masgalvin001 https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2456407739 I am not from Miami but after living here for a year and a half it is very clear that climate gentrification is present here. The developers emphasize their commitment to sustainability. But high-end real estate investments like this raise property values, pushing up property taxes and the cost of living for surrounding neighborhoods. The potential effect on shops and homeowners and on the culture of the community has stoked controversy and protests. Nearby strip malls have been bought up for new development, leaving longtime businesses with fewer affordable options. Other big developments are now being planned. The cost of living in Miami is already the highest in the United States, more than New york, and it's more than living in California. The big developers are only in it for the money and they don't care about the working class people of Miami who have lived here their whole lives.]]> 2023-01-25 16:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2456407739 The Story of Stuff masgalvin001 https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2456411361 People need to get out of the thought of that's someone else's problem…because its not. The average American throws away 4.5 pounds a day. With only 2,000 active landfills in the US that soon will not be enough to hold all our trash. There are little options as to what happens after that. The best solution is for it to never get to that point. The public need to start reusing supplies and get away from the single use item. The landfills create a toxic waste called leachate and it is the combination of all the horrible liquids that are in the trash. The companies that make the landfills do what they can to keep the liquid from getting in the ground and streams but it always finds a way. People need to start reducing their carbon footprint and reduce the amount of trash they produce per day then maybe our environment will be saved.

What I found surprising is that solar panels are part of the huge plastic waste problem and the manufacturing  of them harms the earth. It might be a cheaper electric bill but it isn't the cleanest option.]]> 2023-02-06 16:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2470388334 Pangea masgalvin001 https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2514651871 2023-03-13 15:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2514651871 Goal 14: Responsible Consumption and Production masgalvin001 https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2523805666 AI is yielding optimal consumption and production levels with vertical green farms, eliminating waste and vastly improving yields and resource efficiency. Climate change also effects production and consumption as a whole. Climate change can disrupt food availability, reduce access to food, and affect food quality. For example, projected increases in temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns, changes in extreme weather events, and reductions in water availability may all result in reduced productivity in sustaining our production and production.]]> 2023-03-20 15:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2523805666 Why I chose consumption and production and how it relates to climate change. masgalvin001 https://padlet.com/masgalvin001/kpy53po40gwegq9j/wish/2536912859 Unsustainable patterns of consumption and production are root causes of the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. These crises, and related environmental degradation, threaten human well-being and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Governments and all citizens should work together to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and pollution, and shape a new circular economy. I chose consumption and production because it relates to all people in the modern world today.
