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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

Irene Ng 10/02/2018 9:04 PMFor my 2018 Eco Challenge goals I will be focusing on food, health, and waste. There were some enticing options (working from home, work 8 hours a day). However, I'm not quite sure if I would set myself up for immediate failure. Baby steps I go.
