1.
a) What are your results? Include screen shots of your results (overshoot day, number of Earth’s, land type, consumption category, ecological and carbon footprints. All found under the summary or fact and figures headings) (1 point)
b) Are you surprised by these results? (1 pt)
2. What does this mean? What is a global hectare? (1 pt)
3. List 1-2 things you think you might be able to do to decrease your footprint. Do you think you will make an effort to do so? (1 pt)
4. In your own words, describe why the Global Footprint Network claims we can never get our personal Footprint “within the means on one planet”. (1 pt)
5. How does your result compare to the average Canadian? (Be sure to check you are looking at the most recent data). (1 pt)
6. How have Canada’s per person biocapacity and Ecological Footprint changed over time? (2 pt)
7. If the population of Canada grows and the per capita Ecological Footprint of the country remains constant, what will happen to the total Ecological Footprint and per capita biocapacity? (2 pt)
8. Compare the data from Canada and the United States. If our per person Ecological Footprints are similar, why might the United States have an ecological deficit while Canada has a reserve? Try to come up with two explanations for this difference. (2 pt)

10. How did the coronavirus impact 2020’s overshoot day? What were the main drivers of this?

Sense of Place Project Final
“Sense of place” refers to defining oneself in terms of a given space or region. For most people, sense of place is one of the primary social functions of regional differences. It helps preserve a region’s cultural heritage and social history and promotes social ties among and across peoples.
Over the semester, you have investigated various aspects of your place—spatial, historical, environmental, ecological, political, and many others. Please draw upon your work, thoughts, and ideas from your Nature Journal, Mapping Labs, and Sense of Place assignments.
Your task is to create a research poster reflecting on your “sense of place.”
Name your “place” and describe it in detail. This could be where you grew up, a place you feel most connected to, or somewhere that has impacted your life somehow.
Your description could include landscape, cultural aspects, family connections, essential relationships, and/or a sense of community.
Include details you’ve learned about the Indigenous history, environmental history, or ecological issues of the present.
Drawing on what you’ve learned in readings, lectures, and mapping labs, write about how this place has influenced you—who you are, where you live, and/or where you’re from.
Include at least 4 images from your Nature Journals/Mapping Labs/Outside Research (with annotations) that work as evidence/examples of your unique sense of place.
Reflect on how your experiences in this place have influenced who you are, what you value, and what future you want to work towards. Relate personal experiences to concepts, patterns, and ideas you came across during your research this term. Look for cause/effect, comparisons, classifications, and change/endurance over time. Draw upon historical facts, scientific facts, or your observations. Show evidence of thoughts/feelings, questioning, comparing, connecting, or interpreting what you’ve learned. Consider your audience. Imagine that you are trying to make this place familiar to your classmates. Help them see it through your eyes.
Space on a poster is limited, so pick wisely what to present. Your display should be self-explanatory and have a logical flow—others should be able to follow the order even if you are not present.
Place your title at the top of the poster, and make sure the text is large (usually at least 2 inches in height) and clear. Include your name and major, the name of your faculty mentor and his/her department name, the name of your school and the names of other co-authors. Incorporate appropriate graphics in your poster. Label or describe any charts, tables, figures, graphs, or photos you use. Make sure all edges line up evenly. Edit, review, and spell-check all the elements of your poster display.
Remember, write with purpose, organization, voice/tone, and specificity. 
Poster Style Guidelines
-Don’t use more than two fonts. Instead, use bold, italic, and font size to set type differently. Times New Roman, Arial, and Garamond are suggested typefaces.
-Words should be large enough to read from several feet away, but don’t use all caps.
-Stick to a color scheme (try a couple that complement or contrast with each other such as black or navy on white).
-Be consistent with your white space between sections of text, figures, and headings; white space should be ample so the poster doesn’t look cramped.

The Geography Project Plan is a research paper and a capstone assignment whereby you will 
apply geographic and research skills toward solving a real problem. 
INSTRUCTIONS 
Choose a service project at an accessible location where you have an interest and passion for 
making a difference. The project must be feasible in scale and scope for a student’s time and 
budget. Choose a specific location rather than a grand-scale project like ending world hunger. 
Your plan must be 1,000–1,250 words, use Times New Roman 12-point font with 1-inch 
margins, include a cover page, the required sections (shown below), a reference page, a map, and 
a realistic budget. Cite at least five scholarly sources (other than Scripture, the textbook, and 
Wikipedia) in current APA format 
Please see the detailed attached instructions regarding the assignment as there is more to this than just writing a paper as it has a map and a budget also. 
If the price needs to change I understand just let me know as I know there is some details to this one. I have also attached rubric. 
Please make sure evrything is in the final copy from the requirements in the instructions. 

Write a 7-10 page (double spaced, 12 pt. font, one-inch margins, not including reference page) that connect a current event to Geography. Your current event must be based on a news article published in 2023 or 2024. find articles or search directly on news websites including:

The paper should include the following:
1. A summary of the event or issue highlighting the human-environment interactions.
2. A description of climate or environmental justice implications of the event.
3. A discussion of the similarities and/or differences between the event and environment and society. 
4. Must include reference page

Question 1. Refer to pages 16 to 23 of the Food Vision (these pages refer to what’s printed onto the document, not the pages shown in the pdf). What is one quote that is particularly insightful or meaningful to you? In two to three sentences, explain your response. Be sure to indicate which person’s quote you are referring to.
Question 2. Refer to page 31. How would you answer the question: “Is our food system broken, or is it working exactly as it was designed?” Explain your response in three to four sentences.
Question 3. Refer to pages 32 to 41. What are five ideas presented that are important to know about San Diego County’s food system?
Question 4. Refer to pages 60 to 65. These pages include the three main goals and 10 objectives of the San Diego County Food Vision 2030. What are your overall impressions of the goals and objectives? Do they seem attainable? Are you supportive of any of them? Are there some goals that you are not supportive of? Explain your responses in five to six sentences.
Question 5. How does the Food Vision connect to what you have learned earlier in the course? Explain your response in four to five sentences.

Choose a population of choice. 
Utilizing material from the course and 1 peer review journal article (be sure to cite your references), answer the following questions: 
Identify how your chosen population has been influenced by social structures that influence their mortality rate, life expectancy, overall health/wellness and how that impact has influenced their experiences as it relates to death, dying and loss. 

Prepare and post in this discussion a MAIN post of not less than 500 words in which you identify and assess the MAJOR problems and MAJOR prospects now confronting ONE of these realms (your choice): 1/ NORTH AMERICA (Lesson 4,, Chapter 4), 2/ MIDDLE AMERICA (Lesson 5, Chapter 5) OR 3/ SOUTH AMERICA (lesson 6, Chapter 6). Your MAIN post should reflect a good knowledge of issues discussed within the text and/or contemporary issues/events; it should be well-written; and, most importantly, it should show that you are using your own words!
