What does it mean to me?
I was told to write about biology. I took biology in college. I will write about taking biology in college. Inspiration is a concept so easily overlooked when life throws rent and careers at you with the aim of a blind prophet. The transition from options to obligations sometimes keeps us blind from the idea that we still can do anything at any time. This is America. the core value in America is freedom. It may seem that a few elite corporations are keeping you in a consumer driven coma with inspiration being only for the next year models cars and designer perfumes. What does inspiration mean to me? What have I learned not just in taking this course but as I have taken it? It may have only been a few weeks
This is Fiji. I learned what ecotourism was this semester. Instead of going to roller coasters in California or bars in Louisiana, my next vacation may be in Fiji. An Eco vacation would give me a chance to see Fiji from an appreciation perspective as I scuba dive the natural reefs and live in a hut made by my host family. They would show me the land and culture as a fellow neighbor and not as a tourist.

Biodiversity entails the benefits we receive from having not just one species but the combination of all of them together. The value of life and preservation must go beyond Washington and above economics. Our (my) generation has not just the opportunity but the responsibility to see that this happens the right way.

I have been watching TED videos for some time now. They are great. This video addresses an interesting point to me. I am pursuing an accounting degree and this opens up the idea of Environmental Value accounting. While science may be developing the values of the field, accounting students such as myself may aspire to contribute their abilities to further development and policy change.
