  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    What 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?

    Cheap access to meat and cheap meat products through subsidies on animal feed. Since it tastes good by itself and is so simple to make and buy, people stick with it. Price needs to go up to lower demand or alternatives needs to be funded more (lab grown)

    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    Car oil can be recycled at hazardous waste depots. You can put wood dust in the green bin and untreated lumber only in yard waste. Treated lumber must go to hazardous waste depot
