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?
Melissa Moore 10/22/2018 3:07 PMWe don’t want to admit that our busy lifestyles have created the waste problem and we rely too heavily on convenience products. It's easier to ignore the problem than to take the time to fix it. People don't have the time (or want to make the time) to search out more eco-friendly options. I also think it’s a lack of education on some levels. Some people do not realize they are contributing to this problem and just need to learn the impact they have and how they can start to make changes. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Support Pollution ReductionWhat environmental factors affect human health in your region, and how do they affect it?
Melissa Moore 10/20/2018 1:49 PMThe biggest factors are everyday activities, such as commuting, mowing, taking a shower, and using toxic household products. According to Oregon.gov, these everyday activities account for 90% of air pollution which can lead to health problems. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Advocate For More Food Packaging OptionsWhat concerns you the most about how we are affecting the planet? Consider both local and global actions.
Melissa Moore 10/17/2018 9:54 AMIt's hard to say what concerns me the most. There are so many ways that we are destroying our planet right now. I would say global warming is the most pressing issue. While I am doing my part on an individual level to reduce my footprint on the earth, there needs to be major changes within governments and corporations to turn this around. My next biggest concern is the amount of trash polluting our waterways. There needs to be a bigger emphasis on reducing, not just recycling, around the globe.
