What's the Big Deal?

Welcome to this very special revival episode of What's the Big Deal! I chose a podcast format for my Transformative Climate Action (TCA430) class project, and discuss what my ideal future of waste in Victoria looks like. Spoiler alert: It benefits both nature and humans! Peer Review Instructions:1) Personal Strengths + WeaknessI think my project has a very strong, well-resourced back-bone, however, I was unable to communicate where I got all my sources from within the time limit given.Another strength I see in the project is engagement. I spoke quite fast and moved from subject to subject which keeps my audience engaged and listening.A weakness is that I was unable to insert my interview clip within my main project which is unfortunate because Dr. Gutberlet has great insight into this topic!2) Helpful Peer Feedback + ToneAsk questions on anything that might have been unclear or confusing while I was speaking. Additionally, issues or suggestions to improve the quality of content is appreciated. Are there any sections or times that felt unnecessary and need to be cut?Unfortunately, I was unable to squeeze all the resources I used to create my project in this bio. You can instead find them in the Google Drive linked below:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QDaRK0YL8cVM0SnF_mlrDZa4dYdJx5la?usp=sharingI will be sharing a revised version of this episode once I complete my peer review portion of the class, so stay tuned for that!
