19

Take another walking trip around your neighborhood and record/reflect on what you see - has your perspective changed any since beginning this course? Can you add any details to your map, identify species? Is your neighborhood sustainable? What features support wildlife? Any signs of green building or sustainable design?

Upon my second journey around my neighborhood, I was pleasently surprised to see that absolutly nothing has changed. Everything looks exactly the same. But you ask, how has my perspective changed? I realize that the garbage that has just been tossed out of the car passing me will last billions of years. I realise that the way we live can not possibly be sustained. We need to mow down all of these buildings and live in tents. That is the only answer. There have been no changes. NO CHANGES! And I have gone through this entire course to see what has changed. And what, nothing? I do not see things I have not seen before. What is there that lies beyond, and I ask of you, what do you see?
