So my Environmental Science class is absolutely amazing. I love it as well as my professor. We took this fun little quiz last week to estimate how many planets we would need if each person lived the way we did. It estimates it in terms of land, so the results will come out in acres. It takes into consideration how much you drive, how much of your weekly consumption of food includes meat, the size of your house, and more. Sadly, I needed 4.8 planets :(

On another note, my cousin gave me this book to read called Bias, which is about how the media would too often ignore providing objective information, but instead would slant to the left. I don't know what to think considering who the book is coming from. My cousin claims he's an economic conservative but a socially moderate person, haha. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. It sounds interesting.
