1) My EQ is "What is the best way to maintain equilibrium between man and nature in relation to the rainforest?" My answers to this EQ are: vegetarianism, responsible sourcing, and ecotourism. My best answer is ecotourism since it can be used to introduce the rest of my answers. Also the connections made with people and nature can sway people to be more open about what's actually going on in the rainforest.
2) It took a lot of mentorship in order to find out about ecotourism, it also showed up on a lot of my research I did. So when I finally decided to look more into it, it turned out to be the best answer for my EQ.
3) I was confused about the research checks, I was only looking for general information on my topic and not information about my answers or on my EQ. I fixed this by realizing my mistake and quickly began looking for more information on my answers. I looked for blogs made by vegans or vegetarians because they are very passionate about their life style and they know exactly why and who they're doing it for. A lot of people did it for the animals as well as the environment. I learned tons on how wasteful meat is. When looking for responsible sourcing articles, I made sure I found out what particular items were causing more deforestation. When looking for research on ecotourism I purposely looked for
4) My mentor and my book Deep Jungle, by Fred Pearce. The both helped my find my answers and answer my EQ. My mentor Gary gave me suggestions on what my answers could be for my essential question. Deep Jungle helped me find ecotourism as my third answer. This book was very informative and also spoke about the people who lived in the rainforest. It helped me realize why they weren't always protecting the rainforest. The reason being was that the rainforest was their last hope in becoming successful economically. It was something that really convinced me that ecotourism needed to be my third answer.
