    I have heard of Laudato Si’ before but have not done much research on it. I do know that Pope Francis created that mission. I liked how you talked about the environment goals of Laudato Si’ and how we can implement them in our university. I think introducing these goals and educating students that it will help us and our environment. Overall, great job!

    The decorations were perfect throughout the entire infographic. All the graphics fit the topic it was near, so the message was read but also seen in the graphic. The section on methods we can practice are all realistic changes that would add up if everyone did them. We have to implement mindfulness into our lives in order to combat the overconsumption that is causing this pollution.

    I really like the images that were being used in this infographic! What really caught my attention was when you said that by 2050 we will have more plastic than fish. I really like how you mentioned ways in which the universities can also contribute to helping our environment. I do agree that online textbooks would be nice but there are some people who learn better in paper, like me for example. What should we do instead if we don’t want to have online textbooks?. I also like how you said we can help the environment by volunteering but where would you recommend people to volunteer? Are there any organizations that are doing this now? Overall really good visuals!

    I really enjoyed this infographic not only does it address the issue about living more eco friendly. The idea of incorporating this into our education systems is what is extremely important in order for people to stay educated about living ecologically.

    Hello! what a creative and inspiring title for this infograph. It deeply saddened me to read about where our planet is headed it we do not move and act fast. As a nature lover, I hate to learn that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean and that so many textbooks are quite literally thrown away. With how expensive these textbooks are, that are often required for our classes, I would hope that people would be looking for ways to re-use them and make used textbooks more accessible to fellow students. However, I do find that online versions of textbooks are better as they do not use up valuable resources and are accessible to more students at cheaper prices. Great job on this infograph Carina, Lorena, Alexis, and Sierra.

    I love how organized the infographic is. I think it’s very important to make sure the reader is not overwhelmed by too much information. I think the graphics are so cute. I feel like this would be featured on an Earth Day blog. I like how you incorporated students in the infographic as well. Some college students are unaware or don’t know what steps to take to achieve a sustainable life. Good job guys!

    Hello nice infographic, good use of statistics on pointing out how we are not living sustainably. Interesting statistic on sustainable campuses, I didn’t think there were many at all if any. Some of these statistics can be frightening although id like to believe we’d create products that are much more sustainable by 2050 instead of continuing our production of plastics till then. We also have organisms that now eat plastics I’d like to see how the future of climate change or ocean conservation will look like with more people putting interest on preserving the planet.

    Wow this infographic should have won an award! This is genuinely one of the best I have seen. The title is so catchy and creative that it hooked me in instantly. I like how it was hitting close to home as the solutions proposed were very easy for college students such as myself could accomplish. I just really liked the design and images it looks so clean and put together. It flows very well and seems as though you put a lot of work into it so great job guys!
