Today we had a guest lecturer on sustanability in IS and I really enjoyed this class and my understanding of this lecture today was on how the environment is affected by all the different types of pollution going in the world today from- emissions from cars, usage of auromobiles, how increase in poppulation will affect the world we livew in and many other types of destructiveness to the earth and the environment in general.
