Ethnography strives to extract truths based onholistic, sensitive, and richly detailed subjective appraisals of small populations. Ethnography isan active form of research that requires the researcher to respond to variables like the changingmood of the respondent, non-verbal behavioral cues, and sensitivity to ethical constraints. All thewhile, the ethnographer must be aware of their influence on respondents’ behavior and how itmight skew results.

Future generations will benefit from those who make moreenvironmentally-conscious choices on how they leave their footprints on Earth. One way tobe more environmentally conscious is to build sustainably, whether through ethically sourcedminerals, recycled plastics, reusing items that would otherwise be deemed single-use, or evenusing industrial waste products to build a structure. While sustainable development's primarygoal is to rationalize the use of natural resources, utilizing other materials that are consideredwaste is also living sustainably. Through this
