Reflection Question
Simplicity Buy Used Clothes

Do people with economic privilege have a responsibility to consume and own less? How can the concept of "reduce" be presented to those who may be struggling to have enough food, clothes, shelter?

What do you plan to do with the money you save from making more energy efficient choices?

Reflection Question
Health More Fruits and Veggies

What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How can we start shifting from a meat-focused food culture to a more plant-based one?

Lila Vang 10/18/2018 12:35 PM

I don't really know the answer to that. Many people eat many different things because of our taste buds. It isnt really a force to eat it is a crave to eat food. But i still dont eally know.
