    It actually gives some really good time to talk to people i otherwise wouldn't talk to as much. Type of transportation does differ.

    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle?

    I think that i can start using less plastic like in water bottles and other materials over a long term plan as well as implementing these ideas into my family's routines.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than other countries, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

    I think that because we have or at least think that we have so much accessibility to the different types of meat that we don't really care about what goes into it as well as the limit of the resources. We need to educate the masses on the effects of this mass meat production as the first step.
