REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Use Forest-Friendly Foods 1How is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?
Rebecca Bachtel 4/06/2018 3:17 PMI was happy to learn that the coffee I buy (Peet's) ranks high for sustainability practices (and also have a good reputation based on social consciousness.) I was already aware of the negative impact of palm oil and I try to avoid it as much as I can, though it's not always easy to do. Palm oil is in so many different types of products and under so many different names, it's exceedingly difficult to keep track. I wish there were more companies that promoted their products as "palm oil-free." -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn More about SilvopastureHad you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Rebecca Bachtel 4/05/2018 5:52 AMI had never heard of silvopasture. It seems like a great way to raise livestock without razing trees to create pastures. It also seems to benefit the animals.
