Ecological intelligence is knowing and understanding the
consequences we make to the environment every time we buy something that is supposedly "green" or will reduce our carbon footprint. It means that we need to know that just because it says that its made from organic material or that its made from recycled material or something like that it doesn't mean that it is better for the environment than something that isn't.-How does this article connect to our project’s Essential Questions?
This article connects to our essential questions for the L.U.L.S. project because it is not only talking about living sustainably, but it is also talking about awareness of living sustainably. The article is making sure that we are not thinking that we are living sustainably and actually are not. It is educating us on how to do it more effectively and what to watch out for while trying to live more sustainably.
-How high is your ecological intelligence? Give an example of ecological intelligence in your life.
My ecological intelligence is not very high, it's actually probably, on a scale of one to 100, at about 15 or so. I don't really know about Green stuff and all that. I don't really go out of my way to get stuff like that and I don't even really know if the stuff that I buy is green or organic or anything. I assume that it isn't because I think it would be in big green letters all over the product if it was. One example of ecological intelligence in my life is something my crazy super go green aunt got me one time. It is a box with paper to write on inside and it is all made out of...you'll never guess...elephant poop. You can also give it to the zoo or something like that when you are done using it and they use it for something...I'm not sure what it just says to give it to them.
I really liked how you were honest about your
