Hello,
My name is Gabe Silverman and I am currently a sophomore majoring in Economics with a minor in Business. I am from a suburb right outside of Pittsburgh, Mt. Lebanon. In my free time, I love listening to and reading about music, playing guitar, and also going to as many concerts as I can. I have a radio show once a week with one of my good friends, which I enjoy doing a lot. After college, I would love to go into the business end of the live music industry.
I wanted to take this class not just to finish my GQ requirements, but to take a course that is very applicable and important to my future and the future of others. Further, the issue of sustainability- the ability to maintain and efficiently use the dwindling number of resources this planet has left- is one that is extremely important and will remain so for generations to come. The idea of resilience is that if something is injured or broken, it can recover and spring back to normal. Us as humans will have to assist in this in regards to our environment, and I think it is very important to learn how to take care of our planet.
Thanks for your post Gabe and welcome to the class.
Gabe,
I too was motivated to take this class not only by fulfilling a math requirement but also because I agree that sustainability is incredibly important and is extremely relevant. I too agree that sustainability is especially important to our generation and those to come, for we are the ones who will be experiencing the massive repercussions of all the damage humans have caused to the environment. I do think that the reparation of the environment is extremely important, as well as the discovery of how to prevent future damage from occurring.
