Kevin talked a little about his past like where he went to school, what he studied (I think AstroPhysics) and a lot of things I didn’t really understand. He spoke briefly about Thermodynamics which is the law of heat exchange and also talked about maximum entropy which has something to do with the depth of the earth. He also spoke of negative entropy and maximum power principle. Much of this I’m sorry to say, I didn’t really understand, but the one with I do understand is food and healthier ways to grow food. Kevin went on to talk about his self-sustainable restaurants in Waimanalo. He and his partners have been working together to make people more aware of how important self-sustainability is. Kevin states that “we humans have been taking a lot and not giving back.” I found that to be very interesting because it’s true, we are taking what we need/want and aren’t helping to replenish what we are taking. Once we realize what we are taking, we only come up with temporary fixes, when we should be thinking ahead of what harms we might cause and come up with long term alternatives ways instead.
We have started to realize that we can’t keep on taking without giving back. Take for instance deforestation, this is a huge problem because we are not just destroying the trees that create oxygen, but we are also destroying animal’s habitats. We were only thinking of our own selfish needs and not thinking of the consequences. However we are slowly giving back by growing more and more trees and making other changes that will help the environment and even ourselves. Thanks Kevin for coming in to speak with the class.
