Chloe’s Blog #2 – Lack of education about Black history
Lack of Black history knowledge not only plagues white or non-black people but also Black folks.

Venny’s blog post- the Issue of Sexual Harassment in Public Transportation
I’m still not sure what I’m going to do my project on. At first I thought about general stuff like climate change or something to do with oceans, but then I got a wonderful first hand experience of good old sexual harassment. So I thought that it would be the perfect subject for this class. …

For many of us recycling is a routine. We do it every day and it’s no problem. That’s why it’s so hard for me to understand why some people don’t. When the topic of recycling has come up in conversation with different people in my life I have honestly been surprised to learn just how…

Fast fashion and overconsumption(Anastasia’s blog post)
I would like to do my project/research on the problems of fast fashion. I chose this topic because the industry is responsible for almost 10% of all global CO2 emissions.

The problem that I want to focus on is how inaccessible mental health care is. Health care, including mental health services, is supposed to be free in Finland.
