’s a clear, crisp SUNSET. The camera pans across abeautifully picturesque landscape. Lush summer vegetation infull bloom. Wild green grasses and all kinds of perennialsin front of a line of wild cherry trees at the bluff. Bees,Dragonflies, and insects feast on flowers while birds flyaround. The landscape looks like Serengeti except thatbehind, an orange SUN is setting over the ocean.
Great contrast

My brother and I should still be playing Parcheesi, my father should still be alive, slow dancing with my mother on the sliding-glass balcony of The Gulf Motel. No music, only the waves keeping time, a song only their minds hear ten-thousand nights back to their life in Cuba. My mother’s face should still be resting against his bare chest like the moon resting on the sea, the stars should still be turning around them.
crazy how there is no emotions here, just very vivid images

Energy moves through Earth’s systems(and is not recycled
open for energy - we use a straight line to show energy coming in a flowing through earth systems before it leaves, energy is not recyclable

Materials move among Earth’s systems(and are recycled)
earth is closed with materials - we use a circle to show how they move, they are cycles and recycled

Response negates effects of output
current response counteracts previous response - system brought back to where it was before

ment
-
An environment is a space. Simply put, it can be thought of as the location in which an organism lives, or at least temporarily resides.
-
An environment is made up of those things that affect an organism. In addition to providing the space in which it exists, it influences and shapes an individual. It can be visualized as the set of forces that sustain, apply pressure or stress to and influence to living things.
- when someone says “I care about The Environment” they should instead say something like “I care about Earth’s natural environments”.

I. Environmental science...• What is
The study of Earth’s natural systems and the forces affecting them. Put another way, it is very much a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary endeavor. How human activity influences Earth and its many systems (including the quality of life for people). (It's objective, new, relevant and newsworthy). - Living and non living entities - how they affect earth's systems - interactions among organisms - effects of human activities (natural and humans) - consequences of those actions
-
sci
objective study, agenda is to understand, no feelings or preconceived notions involved
-
ism
refers to a type of advocacy driven by a sense of right and wrong and a desire to protect nature from human activity - protect, preserve

imesis presupposes knowledgethat they are imitations, for one will not derive that pleasure from theoriginals, however indiscernible originals and imitations may be.

"If something cannot beappreciated," Dickie writes, "it cannot be a work of art."
But appreciation is such a wide window; anyone can appreciate anything, so does that mean the trees are art? Sandwiches are art? Water is art?
-
if there are differential aesthetic responses to indiscernible objects when one is an artwork and theother a natural thing-then there would be a threat of circularity inany definition of art in which some reference to aesthetic response wasintended to play a defining role.
- this is why a lot of people believe you should just put art into the world for the (sometimes shallow) intent of entertainment or simply for the sake of creating, rather than for some big existential reason
