Although initially doubtful, I have come to the conclusion that Google Alerts and Twitter CAN be useful in gianing information. I had never used Twitter before, so it took me a while to get acquainted with it. I decided to follow National Geographic because I love viewing their pictures. They also post a lot about the environment and how plants, animals, and people are responding to it. I found out that National Geographic does not only talk the talk; they walk the walk. About 60% of their waste as a company is recycled/composted! They recycle batteries, DVDs, office materials, and even toilet paper!
I also found that Google Alerts is a fun tool. It is convenient and easy to use. I asked for articles relating to "carrying capacity" to be sent to my email daily. I learned that there is a limit to all species populations. Many species have already hit that limit, but humans never have. There is no question that we will one day reach that mark. The question is when will we hit it.
