Response to Quiz and Podcast


The bioregion quiz is a very valuable test of a person’s ability to survive should there be some kind of catastrophe.  Finding answers to the questions posed can tell a lot about the environmental dependency humans have lost or have overused. For example the quiz asks when shadows are shortest.  Knowing such information can inform a resident of the best time to plant or what weather to expect.
Bill McKibben posed some other environmental concerns in his podcast.  One of McKibben’s points was that the environmental decline caused by humans was occurring much faster than had been predicted.  Society must respond to these concerns or else there will be even greater consequences in the near future.
  In conclusion, there must be major changes to the way all humans live.  The earth can only handle so much before life can no longer exist.
