Participant Feed

Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane Digesters

What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

Bryn Wambaugh 4/06/2018 10:21 AM

A sustainable community uses all of its' resources efficiently. For example, MSU's Methane digester used all of the waste products from the dining halls efficiently. It used the bio-fuel produced to power building on campus, and it used the digesters to enrich soil on agricultural land. It is sustainable that all the products were used and there were no adverse waste products.

Women and Girls Learn about the Need for Family Planning

What did you learn about the need for family planning? Share some of the learning with your friends!

Bryn Wambaugh 4/06/2018 10:17 AM

Family planning includes access to contraceptives and sex education. Better family planning will ultimately make women less dependent and boost economics in the country.

Today I learned about regenerative agriculture and it was truly eye=opening to see some of the practices and how they're implemented. It gives me hope for the future to know a big part of the solution to carbon in our atmosphere can be found in soils. I didn't know this was a practice and I'll try to support regenerative farms in the future.

  Regenerative agriculture is a fascinating science and a very important component of carbon sequestration. Biology and biochemistry are the keys to making this work. I'm glad to hear you are interested in learning more about it!

Food Keep Track of Wasted Food

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

Bryn Wambaugh 4/04/2018 12:57 PM

I would rather use this money to pay for my degree and to help my family pay bills.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Learn More about Regenerative Agriculture

Clean air, clean water and healthy food are three reasons to care about regenerative agriculture. In what ways can you support your closest regenerative agriculture farm?

Bryn Wambaugh 4/04/2018 12:55 PM

You can support your local regenerative farm by buying crops from them. You can also get to know your farmer and how they care for their crops. For example, do they use pesticides and how/do they till. Spreading the word about regenerative agriculture is also important because many people might not even realize that how they get their nutrients is harmful to the soil.
