I can also relate to biosphere integrity because for me, it is really important to think that the changes to ecosystems due to human activities are increasing the risks of abrupt and irreversible changes.]]> 2022-07-08 06:59:07 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2239589115 2021503081 https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2239591433 I really believed that planetary boundaries can be related and is of great importance to my course, ESC 206, because these things are a good starting point to set policies concerning our environment and also to plan ahead the steps to make the environment sustainable to the next generations.

As an OSH advocate, we are teaching our clients that, although Occupational Safety and Health is important, It is with high regard to also assess the impacts of our occupation to the environment. ]]> 2022-07-08 07:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2239591902 2021503081 https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2239592571 Although all the 9 planetary boundaries are crucial in sustaining life on Earth, my personal opinion is that we should focus on the 2 boundaries that we already crossed the limit, like: Biosphere Integrity and Biogeochemical flow for us start talking about how to limit these two boundaries.]]> 2022-07-08 07:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2239592571 After reading articles about planetary boundaries, I am saddened by the truth that we, people the first contributor to reach the tipping point of some boundaries such as climate change, ocean acidification, land use change pattern and etc. But then, the solutions for all the problems we've done is also coming from us also. https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240047547 2022-07-09 04:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240047547 Issues that concerned me the most in planetary boundaries were: Land System Change and Ocean Acidification. Because of the abrupt land use changes and shifting of land uses will lead to depletion and degradation of some resources that can affect all life on that particular area. https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240048801 2022-07-09 04:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240048801 Yes, because it is important to set and implement policies concerning the environmental health which we depends on for survival. It is also important to have long-term plans especially concerned with the 9 planetary boundaries, how to lessen and help save our mother earth from future destruction. https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240049101 2022-07-09 04:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240049101 For me, I should focus on Loss of Biosphere Integrity (Biodiversity Loss and Extinction) because it is the most important part of our environment and all of us defend on it. We should not let some species to be extinct to maintain ecological balance https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240062904 2022-07-09 05:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240062904 As an Educator and Instructor, I can much relate to all of the planetary boundaries but most likely, I want to highlight the Climate Chang, Loss of Biodiversity Integrity and also the land system change https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240063563 2022-07-09 05:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2021503081/w3zs6y832n0wt4fz/wish/2240063563
