    My diet impacts deforestation in different ways some weeks i eat more types of food that are not environmentally healthy like meat but others i eat more organic and more environmentally healthy. I can try to eat more foods that dont require open fields to raise animals and make other people aware of the problem.

    Now I know that I need to be aware of when my food expires so I know when to eat it and how much time i have to eat it.

    CFC's cause a harmful environmental impact because they contribute to the ozone layer that contributes to global warming. this makes me scared because global warming is a serious problem and we need as many people to decrease their carbon footprint.

    Had you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?

    No, I think the biggest advantage about silvoplasture is that it cuts methane emmitions.
