Today I visited Mark R. Isfeld's Global Studies Class and delivered an epic 2.5 hour presentation on the globalization of garbage an what we can do about it. Lisa Chase, the instructor, sent me this letter later in the day. Here's what the instructor wrote to me in her email at the end of the day:
"First I would like to thank you very much for taking the time to come in to speak to the Global Studies class at Isfeld. We have spent the term focusing on personal consumption and what the students can do personally to make a difference. Your presentation fit in perfectly with the curriculum and inspired students to continue to make a difference everyday by way of changing their habits. The students have become more aware of the use of plastics and the importance of recycling. Students expressed genuine awareness and concern over taking care of their environment. We appreciate the opportunity for you to come in to speak to the students at no cost to the school. The reinforcement of all of these ideas by you had a much greater impact on students than I could have ever imagined.
I am not even sure I can express in words the impact you had on the students. Upon discussing with my students after your visit, many students expressed, " Zac is my new hero!" They found your presentation the best part of the course, and said that you truly inspired them. I know it might sound like I am exaggerating, but I am not. They were moved by your experiences, your stories, your passion. When things get difficult, if you ever question if you are on the right path, don't…you are! Again, I cannot thank you enough, you certainly helped make the final days of the Global Studies class amazing."
