What is your vision?
What is your impact?
The world isn't a perfect place, and it never will be. But, how can it/will it be a better place because of your existence? A few semesters ago I invited two sociology students into each of my classes to register students to vote and to encourage participation in local government. So, what have you done since? This page is for you and for any other students who got involved or would like to.
If you need a place to start
thinking, check out this Introduction
to Global Change on-line course. It's two semesters worth of material
on the physical nature of global change and the human impacts involved.
Try a few
of the lectures. You might be amazed/shocked by what you learn.
Need more ideas? Attend a Jimmy Buffett concert! Seriously, $1 of every concert ticket sold supports Singing For Change, funding projects that improve the quality of life for people, and that empower individuals to effect positive change in their communities.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

Here's a start: What in Pensacola do you value? What do you want to see changed?

- Get the facts, and call your local Escambia County and Santa Rosa County commissioners.
- Join with others, and write a proposal to Buffett's foundation.
