The article below highlights how new data is showing that the increase in deforestation is leading to an increase in major forest fires throughout the Amazon. A great way to educate yourself on current world issues! news.mongabay.com/2022/11/2022-a…

We can still see the implications listed below in today's time as there is such a backlog of surgeries that were not performed during the pandemic as well as the shortage of staff resulting in inadequate resources to provide patients.

@EM203YPalch This was a great read, thanks Yeva! I regularly use the freezer to freeze fresh fruits that may not look as appealing to be able to use in smoothies at a later date.

Here are 5 easy ways to reduce food waste in your home. Do you use any of these practices or other ones in your home? Let's reduce our food waste together! #zerowase #foodwaste #sustainability #EM203

@EM203YPalch This was a very interesting article that encouraged me to further educate myself. According to a study in 2018, I was able to find out that Ontario is ranked #1 in terms of producing the most food waste in Canada which completely shocked me! statista.com/statistics/484…

Here is an interesting article discussing why Ontario's plan to ban food waste from landfills might not work. What are your thoughts? #zerowaste #EM203 cbc.ca/news/science/l…

According to a Government of Canada study, the job responsibilities of healthcare workers expanded during the pandemic which in turn drastically increased the hours they worked as well as the level of stress they felt. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Create non-profit surgical centres to tackle backlog, @OntariosDoctors says. ow.ly/2gjW50LMrt8

“While the health-care system is under enormous strain, family doctors are working harder than ever to help clear the pandemic backlog of care and keep their patients healthy & out of emergency departments,” said @ontariodoctors President @drrosezacharias ow.ly/esxf50LNfRm

@LaurierWellness I am researching the effect of the pandemic on the healthcare system in one of my courses at Laurier. I was wondering if you would be able to briefly discuss how it impacted the wellness centre?

@OntHospitalAssn I am researching in a course at Laurier University the effect of the pandemic on the healthcare system and how those implications are still seen today. Would you be able to speak briefly about this?

@WdskHospital I am conducting research within a course at Laurier University in regard to the effect of the pandemic on the healthcare system and how the implications are still prevalent today. Would you be able to speak to this?

@OntariosDoctors I am researching the overall effects that the pandemic had and still has on Ontario’s healthcare system in a course at Laurier University. Would you be able to briefly discuss some implications the pandemic caused?

reuters.com/business/cop/w… This article discusses the little progress made by the world to solving the climate problem related to food waste. Countries have pledged to halve their food waste by 2030. We are now 7 years away and we are nowhere close to doing so. #EM203Robin

@EM203jmicic I really enjoyed examining your concept map! I think an additional point to take into consideration is since land pollution is a major contributor to global warming, a tactic to reduce this pollution is by focusing on reducing, reusing, and recycling.

@EM203CMurphy I think another definition that could be added to your heath concept map could be stress!! It is very important and sometimes seen as the same as mental health but it can cause physical and mental tolls. #EM203problems

@EM203MTrif Great post Magda! I agree with you that it is interesting to see how the evolution of digital platforms has changed the way we learn by providing access to information anywhere and at any time. #EM203Robin

I have learned a lot during the first 3 weeks of EM203 and have enjoyed the lessons so far! It is interesting seeing how the digital age has reformed learning and communication. Looking forward to learning more in the course! #EM203Robin

@Em203MTester Great tweet Madison! I agree that this class has advanced my understanding of the change in society as we move towards more digital platforms when consuming data and the implications that come with them. #EM203Robin

So far in #EM203Robin I have learned about the impact the internet has had on our society, the way we communicate, and learn! This shift requires us to be aware of our learning styles so we can fully benefit from the availability of multi-media sources. Can't wait to learn more!
