As consumers we can dictate the amount of waste we are to willing to produce. Each step of the consumer process provides an opportunity for us to act environmentally responsible and reduce waste. #ReduceTheWaste #ConsumerWasteManagement

Check out this infographic on the major areas of consumer waste and see how you can improve your waste management! #WhatsInYourTrash

Do you actively think about what you are throwing away as a consumer?

There are many different ways to manage our waste as consumers. This graphic outlines the idea of a circular economy in which consumers’ willingness to properly eliminate their waste or lengthen product use results in the initial raw materials being given a longer life cycle.

58% of food in Canada is being wasted or lost with 2.38 million tonnes being wasted at a consumer level. Check out this website for some tips on reducing food waste at home time.com/5663306/how-to… #foodwaste

Waste has a negative impact on our environment. The main problem is that waste on a consumer level is growing & our environmental state is worsening as a result of it. The process of eliminating this waste is threatening our environment & ecosystems. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

More than 11,000 scientists from around the world declare a "climate emergency" wapo.st/2Nhpl8s

This website helps to outline some of the adverse effects of human waste on the environment. It takes a look at the results of eliminating waste through landfills and incineration. greenchoices.org/green-living/w… #EM203Research

Food waste occurs mainly in agricultural production and at a consumption level. The impact of this waste has major affects on our environment and the people within it. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@EliseMason1985 It’s crazy how much waste can come from something as simple as drinking water, reusable water bottles are just one necessary step to reduce waste in our daily lives!

Hey! @EM203HNutter one of the problems associated with gun violence is the abundance of illegal guns and the ease of accessing them #EM203problems

@jayhesl Before I started actively looking at waste in my daily life it was difficult to discover the abundant use of plastics in the world around me. How did you discover single use plastics to be an issue in the biomanufacturing process?

@EM203VictoriaG I agree! Makes me appreciate being a student during this era where we have so many resources available!

@EM203ashleybaum Great tweet! The learn by doing theory is interesting as it can often apply theoretical knowledge in a hands-on learning setting. I think that combination is one that can work for many people!

The past 3 weeks has been an extremely educational experience. I have enjoyed learning about Learning by Doing. The main goal of this learning style is to have students learn in an unstructured way as they get to have hands on experiences. Can't wait to keep learning! #EM203Robin

@em203erindunn I also really enjoyed the multitasking experiment. I believed that I was just as efficient or even more efficient when I was multitasking, but this experiment helped me open my eyes to acknowledge that what I thought may not always be true.

The first few lessons of #em203robin have been very interesting! I really enjoyed learning a new skill and attempting the memory and multitasking experiment😊

@EM203TTanga I think the technology that we have now creates a learning platform in which information is easy to access. This breaks down global barriers as the same information that is placed on the internet in one area or country can be accessed in an entirely different region!

After going through three weeks of the class i have learned that learning through the online world is something different. We live within a generation that has unlimited access to the internet which allows us to have different ways of learning. #EM203Robin

@MKamel_Em203 I couldn’t agree more! The use of infographics brings information to people quickly and in a way that is easy to understand and process. The ease of information processing then allows individuals to be able to spot trends and patterns, as you stated above.

The first few weeks of #EM203Robin have been wonderful as I was able to understand communication at a digital age. Utilizing technology to enhance people's ability to see trends and patterns (through infographics) is crucial. This type of learning offers an immediate connection!

@EM203ElleryTG I also believe that these numerous approaches can be helpful when acquiring new knowledge. I think understanding which approach works best for oneself is crucial to get the most out of the learning process.

In the first 3 weeks of EM203, I have discovered that there are a multitude of approaches to learning and that these approaches can make certain subjects easier to understand. It's also interesting to read about the different ways technology can enhance our learning! #EM203Robin

The past three weeks of EM203 have exemplified that through the use of resources and different learning theories, the process of acquiring knowledge can be tailored to the strengths of the learner and the context in which they find themselves. Excited to learn more! #EM203Robin
