M15.5 Final Post

Closing Thoughts

As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Nothing has been truer for me about the knowledge I have gained from this course. I now have the tools to be an educated consumer and to know what is in the products I purchase. I feel I've had a significant paradigm shift because I had no idea so many of things I previously bought contained toxic chemicals. Moving forward, I plan to change many of my lifestyle habits. I have already made some small changes which include buying organic food, using less plastic, researching items on Skin Deep to ensure my personal care products are nontoxic, and buying with intention. I also feel I have gained the knowledge and resources to better educate my patients about environmental health. Thank you for truly opening my eyes to the importance of sustainable living! 


In terms of the blog, it was nice to have the opportunity to get to know my classmates and converse about new topics. Online classes can be tricky so the blogging allowed us to stay connected. Even though it was difficult at times due to heavy workloads in all of my classes, I definitely learned a lot this semester! Thank you Samuel and Yeana for sharing! It was great learning with you!
