"Class Links"

In order to become completely knowledgeable on an issue and to develop an educated opinion on it, one must self-inform through more than this blog alone. Three of my classmates have really informational blogs that aren't necessarily about deforestation, but the topics are all connected mainly through a cause and effect relationship.
The first blog I highly recommend is at http://heatinitup.blogspot.com. This blog is about global warming and its effects on the world and environment. As I previously discussed, deforestation adds to global warming, so it is crucial to have a good understanding on what global warming is and what all the causes and effects are, in order to understand why this is such a bad thing.
The second blog that is worthwhile is at http://vilese11.blogspot.com. This blog focuses on the fact that even though the church and state are supposed to be completely separate, the government still plays a huge role in matters of religion. It shows how involved the government is in every aspect of our life. It is largely because of the government's role in the economies of countries that deforestation occurs at such a devastating rate.

The last blog is at http://benefitsofscr.blogspot.com. This is a blog supporting stem cell research. This has nothing to do with deforestation, but it shows a project that the government has invested in, that has only positive outcomes. My blog is very much anti-government involvement, but this one shows the opposite view point and supports it very well. I want to emphasize the fact that I am unbiased in that I acknowledge the fact that the government is doing things to try to help the world as well.
