Hello Kathy,

I love the positive "Hello Future Friends!" greeting. I have taught AP Environmental and also struggled some with the doom and gloom aspect of getting people to understand how bad things are in order to get them to make change. It can be really depressing. However, it seems from your positive greeting that you are well suited to figuring that out. I always tried to end with a "just imagine if each person on the planet did one thing, what a huge change we could make" message with my students. And we are all doing at least one thing by attending this class. I look forward to meeting you!
