Environmental studies and Forestry

Environmental studies and Forestry Write a reflective essay that addresses the prompts below: From the RadioLab program, what does the phrase œIn the Dust of this Planet mean to you? Why do you think artists, musicians, stylists, designers, philosophers, pop-culture and the general public have been drawn to this phrase? Do you think its popularity is specific to this cultural/environmental moment, why or why not? Do you agree that many people use pop-culture as an escape from having to deal with the burdens of reality (discussed at 25:30 in the program)? If that is the case, what might that mean for making art in/about the Anthropocene that actually tries to make difficult realities, such as about climate change or loss of species, real to audiences?
