Respect for all!

Respect for all is a vital subject to discourse about for there is a multitude of people in this world who are prejudiced and disrespect people, places, things, and ideas. The topic that I have chosen to address covers Respect for all under the ecosystem. You wouldn’t treat your house like an ash tray unless you are a complete moron, so why would you treat Earth like one? The fact of the matter is that pollution has been the leading cause of economy crashes, unsafe working conditions, and the foul stench of what has been rotting for ages now in dumps. We need to literally clean up our act, it is because of us that we might not have a clean future for us in the long run for the next generation. So please pick up your recycling bins and reduce, reuse and recycle! My project focuses on the problem with the ecosystem and pollution at hand, the facts, and the solutions on how we can cut down our losses.

 In this project the difficulty was the time management. I have tried to learn how to manage my time through alarm clocks, creating a tentative bell schedule, and even timing myself on a regular basis. When it comes to coding I take more time because of my indecisiveness to decide on what to do. Even with the wireframe drafts that I have constructed, they prove to be of no avail because I end up changing the whole format my work anyways. Additionally it took time positioning where everything would go, for instance how to determine the absolute position of an object such as a navigation bar or something like placing an image at a specific point on the screen. Whilst trying to figure this out I was placing the images according to the absolute location, however when the window was resized my images would all of a sudden go off the screen entirely. The easiest part of the project was the wire frames because I enjoy brain storming. I switched my idea all 6 times that we did the wire frames for the project and I explored all my options this time. Even after 6 drafts of the wire frames I still had trouble finalizing on even one of the drafts.

 I find this project to be very helpful as I get to learn about how the world suffers from human made disasters like pollution. Also, with creating or trying to create a professional website, I learned how to create new things with CSS like adding footer to the bottom of the page to show my name, copyright, and fake contact information. It was a very helpful project to do and I learned a lot during my time doing this. Later on this will help me in my future endeavors when coming face to face with those like Donald Trump who says that that pollution does not exist.
