It’s the same answer for the coffee cup question. I just need to be willing to wash a cup every day. Lol

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable Water BottleWhile water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Francesca Cooper 10/24/2018 7:39 AMTo be honest, I’m just lazy. Once I get past the idea of washing a cup every day I’ll be fine. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhat do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?
Francesca Cooper 10/24/2018 7:38 AMPeople believe that you HAVE to eat meat in order to be healthy. This is just not true. Meat is also very expensive compared to what people in some countries can afford. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Choose Organic IngredientsCan organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?
Francesca Cooper 10/24/2018 7:36 AMI believe it can. People just need to be willing not to spend as much on fast food. If we supported our local farmers more, we would not only be helping our bodies stay healthy, but we would also be supporting a healthy economy -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
Francesca Cooper 10/24/2018 7:35 AMI would personally like to see it go towards charities and maybe be put back to use to serve struggling families a meal.
