Assignment for 1/19/12
Although I am familiar with Twitter, Google Alerts is a new application to me. So far, it has made my research on environmental issues and sustainability convenient. I like Google searches the top results for you, and sends you emails daily about the topics you have specified. So far, the key words that I have highlighted include overpopulation, human sustainability, and ethical consumerism. I have learned quite a bit about these topics since my initial use of Google alerts. The most sobering fact I have learned thus far is the the population of earth is growing exponentially, causing a dramatic strain on the Planet and it's natural resources. Eventually, the population burden will become too much for Earth, and the Planet will fail. Using Google alerts will make finding information for my next paper fairly easy.
