"I'm going to mostly focus in on woman's rights and saving trees. I want to spend a lot of time at the park, picking up trash and learning about the tree there and the animals that they provide homes for."

REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings and Cities Go for a Daily WalkWhat have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?
Griffin Allen 4/02/2019 12:29 PMIt was actually really fun, I walked my dog this morning for thirty minutes, so it was still pretty dark out, but tomorrow I'll start walking her during the day. -
Griffin Allen 4/02/2019 12:28 PMIf you have a dog, you should walk them for 30 minutes a day because you both get exercise and fresh air. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Use Forest-Friendly Foods 2How difficult or easy was it to change your diet?
Griffin Allen 4/02/2019 12:19 PMIt wasn't that hard because I don't eat the foods to much in the first place but I miss cocoa powder :( -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsIn your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?
Griffin Allen 4/02/2019 12:17 PMThis is not good for the environment because of pollution and the fact that people are killing animals which I don't like because animals are awesome. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood CompostingProducing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?
Griffin Allen 4/02/2019 12:12 PMThe fact that producing meat products effects the growth of plants motivates me to not eat as much meat, because I care about plants a lot, especially trees, because of all the provide for us and other organisms.
