REFLECTION QUESTION
Transport

How can you ensure that your virtual meetings honor your values and your company's culture?
Davis Turner 4/24/2018 9:22 AM
If you just skype people then you cut out the need for needless travel which burns large amounts of CO2. Also people are less productive when they have to travel then when they are allowed to perform meetings from there desks and can then return to work afterwards.

Had you heard of the term silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Davis Turner 4/16/2018 9:23 AM
I was unsure of what in the world silvopasture was until now but as soon as I saw the informational video I was mind blown. The benefits seem to far out way the disadvantages of this form of farming. I think the greatest advantage is the fact that it helps control carbon emissions that would cause global warming while also protecting the animals and crops from an ever warming climate.

How do you address your own feelings of concern, fear or despair about climate change?
Davis Turner 4/12/2018 9:14 AM
I learned that one can pay a small fee when they get there refrigerator to have there old one picked up and taken away to be properly disposed of. Also you can take what they call "white trash" to the landfill and they will take care of it for free. You won't see me throwing my fridge in my backyard and that's on KENILWORTH!
