Guatemala 2009

We gave our Globalization Gone Wild talk regarding Goldcorp and its effects on the local community. The talk went well, and I believe we successfully voiced the harmful implications Goldcorp’s presence has on the local community.

On February 4, Dr. Klak spoke to our class concerning sustainability and tourism.

Dr. Klak argued a shift to sustainable tourism is needed. Practicing sustainable tourism minimizes the harmful effects of conventional tourism on the environment. Also, this approach empowers cultures and provides revenue for local communities.
