Three Thoughts:
My favorite children’s book is … Amos and Boris by William Steig
My Capstone would be on … ways to reduce plastic use and plastic waste to prevent harm to sea life, such as turtles. I would want to learn more about how local efforts help, such as beach cleanups, how science is inventing some solutions, and what legislation has been effective in changing plastic habits globally.
If I could give a child one quality, it would be … empathy.
