Biology Week Eleven

I think that the reintroduction of the American Bison is important, as we saw in an earlier week (deep ecology I believe) that there are so many benefits to a thriving ecosystem, and grasslands making up much of land environment being vitally important. At the same time, I wish that there were some other issues that need addressing getting as much attention as it appears American Bison are receiving. Like the real harms of consumer capitalism. Or the frightening lack of education/awareness of global concerns (or miseducation/brainwashing) in the majority of middle america.
I think that Bison are important to Native groups that deserve to have as many aspects of their culture restored as possible. And I believe that Bison are more sustainable than cattle, and could potentially create a more sustainable meat for general consumption? Not entirely sure this is feasible.

In my opinion, I think we need better/more/more hours of/more options for public transportation. I think we need to be doing more to satisfy our own needs locally, like growing our own foods, making our own products, instead of buying goods that come from overseas. I think we should be shifting away from burning fossil fuels. I think we should be educating drivers about the rights/safety of bikers, and creating more routes for only bikes. Consumption needs to decrease, in so many different areas.
