REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Generation

Micro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Emily Frye 4/25/2018 9:45 AM
Micro turbines could be installed on top of our mountains, as well as any buildings that are unused or under construction in downtown. We have lots of tall new hotels that can be taken advantage of with micro turbines

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

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?
Emily Frye 4/25/2018 5:53 AM
I think that people in North America are spoiled with the amount of food that we have available to us, and it in turns shows that we have some self centered values about ourselves and how we live. We can shift this by raising awareness for the impact that meat eating has on our environment
