What will sustainability look like after the COVID-19 pandemic?
Earth Day 2021's theme is Restore Our Earth.
Amid the past year of fluctuations and unprecedented changes, people are expressing growing concern about the spotlight shifting away from climate change to the more pressing threat of a global pandemic. In this same time period there have been claims that the pandemic has given us a much needed break from our harmful activities, acted as an urgent wake up call, and created opportunities to build back our communities in more sustainable ways.
Geography undergraduate and Communications Asssitant, Victor Yin, sat down with four environment factuly members to explore what we can expect for our communities and environment and how COVID-19 will impact interdimensional sustainability.
