REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Personal Waste AuditWhy is it so difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places? How might your experience with this challenge impact your future consumption and choices?
Eric Warren 10/03/2018 1:11 PMMany people tend to ignore what bothers them or is not easily explained. If it doesn't immediately impact them they may just ignore it. This will impact my future choices so I am more conscious of what I should not buy due to waste or how to change how I shop. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Compost Food WasteNew to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?
Eric Warren 10/03/2018 1:09 PMI notice that I tend to use more and I am buying less to have to discard less. I am planning on using my compost for my veggie garden I have every year and might use it in a herb garden as well. This benefits the environment by throwing away less, having a purpose for wasted or unnecessary products, and to help benefit future productions of crops.
