My Connection

Do you ever notice the trash on the side of the freeways? Or in your neighborhood park? Most people do. Yet, those same people with unscrupulous behavior are the reason it is there. If everyone just contributed a little to diminish the negative impact we are leaving, it would be greatly effective. I believe this organizations values and goals are in the right place. They are doing what others are not.

Critical Thinking

Organizations are created to bring the best out of people. This one in particular helps to solve problems and to form a well-reasoned fair-minded judgment such as taking care of our environment for healthier foods. Also, being more self conscience and to self regulate yourself to be willing to engage into this movement of protecting our environment.

Critical Action

There are many ways to engage yourself into this organization to take informed actions. Such as becoming a monthly donor or volunteering to such organizations. And by doing this you also tend to engage in the final step of critical thinking by taking action to help the cause of this organization.
