Blog #1 Introductory Questions

**What do you want to get out of the course?  
What interests you about “green politics?”  
What do you want to explore?**

Honestly, I'm not even sure how one would define being 'green' anymore, so figuring that out would be awesome! It seems like everyone defines it in their own way, and hearing everyone's personal definition will be a helpful way for me to develop my own definition. What I'm really looking forward to taking away from this class is a new set of leadership skills that will better prepare me to help educate others about being 'green.' Also, I'm REAL excited to become more involved in the green movement here at Carolina. I had no idea that there were so many ways that students and faculty members were doing so much to make out campus more environmentally friendly.

I think that those who have the most knowledge about the earth and environment will be better off in the coming future. The environment has become a hot topic around the world, and it's not going away. I'm tired of being ignorant and misguided. My future plans might include becoming an environmental lawyer, and I want to know as much as I can about creating sustainable, green communities. Learning about the different schools of green political thought is something I'm really curious about because I've honestly NEVER heard of most of them! 

What I really want to explore during this class is all of the different ways to get involved on campus. As previously stated, I also really want to explore my leadership potential in this field. I'm actually like mad shy so I'm hoping that with all of the forced interaction in this class I'll be more comfortable about stating my opinions and taking charge of situations.
