Reflective Essay Part I
GE2201
"This module looks at the different types of terrestrial environments or biomes that exist on Earth. It studies the natural environment of these biomes in terms of weather and climate; natural vegetation; soil formation; and rocks and landforms, as well as the culture, settlement pattern and agricultural activities of the people who reside in these different environments. It also highlights the fragility of the planet we live in, and suggests how our Planet is ailing, examining the causes and possible means of remedy. The module also studies why the relationship that we have with the environment must be reciprocal and symbiotic, and not exploitative."
