Did any of the Options appeal to you more than the others?

The idea of increasing/promoting scientific innovation was more appealing than the other options because it ruffled the least amount of feathers, meaning that it required less change from the everyday actions of the average human beings. The other options required humans to change their actions to “save the planet” and scientific advances would be a more gradual change for people, which would make the process easier.

Did you hear or think of any new way of addressing the issues associated with the warming of the climate?

My group discussed incentivizing the creation of eco-friendly cars as well as changing the stigma regarding eco-friendly choices.

What are your thoughts on the use of Public Deliberation in the classroom or the community? Is this something you would like to facilitate?

I liked it–in high school in order to get our honors credit for English class, we had to participate in a big socratic seminar. In class, we regularly had Socratic seminars as well. They helped brainstorm and develop ideas, which would be great for solving problems like what to do in the face of climate change. I don’t think I would moderate them ever, but I would not be opposed to participating in a Public Deliberation from time to time.
