1. Ensure Environment Stability
By
Jared Dasho

2. How does
environmental stability
resonate for me?
I am an avid backpacker and outdoorsmen. I
love to get out into nature for days and feel
most at home amongst the trees, flowers
and wildlife. Every year I go out I see more
and more trash along the sides of trails and
clearcutting of trees. It upsets me to know
that my nephews may not get to enjoy the
serenity of the mountains.

3. How can my interest be applied locally?
• I feel like getting the next generation involved into the outdoors and
showing children the impact of our ignorance and greed is having on
our planet is the best way to curb our reliance on resources that have
a damaging effect on nature. If we can change the minds of children
to value our planet more than profits then those children may grow
up to make a change.

4. Where can I personally make the greatest
difference?
• If making the greatest difference is measured as reaching the most
people, I feel like making a informational YouTube video or Facebook
page dedicated to cleaning up our parks and trails. If making the
greatest difference is measured in actual environmental
improvement, I can only control my own actions, and doing things like
picking up trash while hiking and driving a more environmentally
friendly car would have the greatest impact.

5. Is there a feature of social media that can be
uniquely applied to this goal?
• In the aforementioned slide I thought that a YouTube video would be
best suited toward reaching the most people. If a YouTube video was
done well enough to go viral it may start a environmental movement
that could reach our government, effectively changing policies. If
enough people cry out against the destruction of our planet the
government has to listen right?
