Hello everyone my name is Latoya, and I am here reporting live from the beautiful campus of the University of Central Florida on March 27, 2012,. I am here listen to Alexandra Cousteau who is known as an National Geographic "Emerging Explorer, filmmaker and globally recognized advocate on water issues . She will be speaking today on the topic “Saving the planet “ a global perspective in conjunction with UCF’s Unifying Theme .Are you wondering what this organization is about? I am glad you ask; UT organizes summits every semester to engages students in a face to face discussion pressing environment having speaker come out to share their knowledge ,experience etc.
It is now 4:30 p.m. and I am here in the Student Union, Cape Florida Ballroom Alexandra Cousteau is wrapping up her session . it’s time for me to reflect about my thoughts about this extraordianary campus engagement . When I arrived to the room my first impression was on Seely, will support student who are politicizing their lives especially an organization as UT who gives student the opportunities to have direct student action to respond and be a voice for the environment and global climate change .
Alexandra Cousteau who I will call the voice for “saving our planet “she is truly a passionate individual and so relevant to this course she represent a women in leadership. She travels around the country and politicize her life by creating awareness . I am not so environmental friendly so my impressions was that I need to create awareness about this after Cousteau “ We can restore ecosystem by having campaign water rights which is away to conserve and restore what we have “. To my knowledge I did not no we had water issues she briefly mentioned Farmer vs. Fish issue according to L.A Times “California faces dry and wet cycles, and during the 2007-09 drought, water was scarce for farmers, cities and the environment”. She went on to discuss that our system are in crisis and we ought to talk about things from a interconnect system .
In her journey she mentioned her experience in India , she saw that some of their water is black and people was fishing out of it and she said that the solution for this is that it take leaders and people to realize that what resource they are using . This makes realize that based on social location people are not being educated on the importance of clean water and how that it can restore life ,but pollution can give us less access to it . In conclusion it was awesome and I learned that politilizing life is the way to go because the learning experience is the teacher.
