  • 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?

    I think that our economy has allowed us to be spoiled. We have the means to eat steak, chicken, etc. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transport
    Take a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?
