Bees and other pollinators play a key role in both food security & the healthy growth and ecological integrity of ecosystems. Both of these can work as climate change mitigation & adaptation strategies, making bees a key component of the fight against climate change 🐝 🌎 💛

@GrowShareRepeat @ConversationCA @DrLizFranklin1 Thanks for your insight. Very interesting article! The technology behind robo-bees seems as though they have the capability to be effective pollinators, but I still feel as though it would be a sad day to call them our only option. Thanks again! Much appreciated. 🐝

After finding out that our final weekly Twitter challenge for #EM203 is seek out insight from an expert on our topic (mine being climate change & renewable energies), I knew I would reach out one of the many @LaurierGeogEnv professors who have contributed to my knowledge (1/2)

This website is really useful to get a quick overview of what renewable energy is and why it’s important we make the switch from fossil fuel extraction. ren21.net/why-is-renewab…

Donald Trump’s premature claims of victory are illegitimate, dangerous, and authoritarian. Count the votes. Respect the results.

This website is a great start to learn more about how renewable energies can be an important player in the fight against climate change. #EM203Research #EM203Robin irena.org/climatechange/…

I’m willing to hold you accountable for lying about climate change for 30 years when you secretly knew the entire time that fossil fuels emissions would destroy our planet 😇

Politicians like AOC that fight for bills promoting renewable energies and affordable housing are key actors in the fight against climate change. AOC is also just a queen👑#EM203Research #EM203Robin

Hey @moor6240, nice mind map about water pollution! I like how you place an emphasis on the causes of water pollution because it helps us to understand the role humans play in causing it. This is sure to be a challenge humans will face for centuries to come #EM203problems

Hey @EM203LPiersanti nice concept map on global warming! It is so important to recognize the causes and effects. Global warming faces us with the difficult challenge of determining the most effective way to curbing the impacts, but mind maps help! #EM203problems

Hey @EM203JSager I really like your concept map on #COVID19. The most pressing issue is that the the pandemic has effected nearly every aspect of life, so it can be hard to compose a mind map to capture every problem it has created! #EM203problems

@EM203Bre Hi Breanna! Just looking at your Climate Change Concept Map - and another possible issue I see is how expensive it can be to combat and reverse the effects of Climate Change! #EM203Robin

Hey! @EM203Bre to start you did a great job on your concept map!! I think a main issue with climate change is how if the world keeps getting warmer we’re only going to continue to see these massive wildfires and this will continue to kill our environments.

@moor6240 Hey, thanks Steven! Concept maps are a great way to construct a visual representation of our thoughts on a topic, and climate change is one near and dear to my heart. Ecosystems are most definitely at risk and we are already seeing declining ecological integrity. #EM203Problems

Hello @EM203Bre. Terrific concept map on #ClimateChange. I believe that the most concerning problem related to this environmental issue is with regard to the detrimental (and irreversible) impact it has on ecosystems. #EM203problems

@EM203LMerrimen Hey Luke! I agree that our content applies now more than ever and with classes being online, it allows students to do work remotely. You bring up a good point about traditional trasmissive lectures and it also makes me curious to evaluate the effectiveness between the two.

@EM203_Meredith Hey Meredith! You make an interesting point that learning has become more collaborative which I agree with, but in a different way than being in the classroom. The internet can help us to work together in ways not possible otherwise like zoom calls and group chats :)

So far in #EM203Robin I have explored the impacts of learning in the #DigitalAge. Not only has learning become more #collaborative, I am also seeing how I can become a more #active learner by incorporating #tech in my education. Looking forward to the rest of this course!
