Blog #1 - What do I want to get out of this course?

I would like to get many things out of this course, but most of all I would like to get an understanding of what "Green Politics" actually is. I have a few preconceived notions, but I would like to see how green values and and green thinking can be incorporated into today's society through various methods.
Many things interest me about the term "green politics." Being an environmental science major, I have always been drawn to "green" activities. As a whole, I find politics to be one of the driest subjects, but with the term "green" in front of it, I was intrigued. After one day of class, I think that I will be really enjoying myself in there.
I would like to explore many subjects in here, but what I would really like to explore is sustainable practices brought to society. We can develop great sustainable energy and technology, but if we can't incorporate it into everyday society somehow it will do no good. I'm really looking forward to all of the topics we cover.
