Neighborhood Walk

After completing my second neighborhood walk, I definitely notice a change in my observations from the walk I took in the beginning of the semester. One thing that I noticed I had become more aware of was the idea of green building. While before my main focus was on the types of animals and plant life I found in my neighborhood, now I felt that I was more observant of areas that had been influenced by development. For example, I noticed that in the community across the street that the land had to be raised significantly in order to construct homes in the once flood prone area. I feel that while I was not able to identify any new organisms, I was more aware of the lack of sustainability in my neighborhood.
