The Zero Waste Movement is a movement that I actively participate in and deeply value in my life. I certainly did not want to write a magazine about something I had no prior interest in.

Both Christopher Columbus’ and Bartolome de la casas writings are examples of primary sources. Columbus kept his writing as more of a log book than a journal.

In Wikipedia as a Site of Knowledge Production, Danah Boyd offers persuasive and interesting perspectives on why Wikipedia is a credible source for information. Boyd is attempting to convince
