    The ashes will get into the air can cause things like cancer and heart disease from the remnants left.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Materials Recycle Everything I Can
    How could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?

    I like recycling. One: l don’t want my garbage filled to the top with things I could just put in the recycling needing to get another garbage bag to fit the rest of my garbage

    I think bamboo products are sometimes available where I live. I once used a toothbrush with a bamboo “body” and plant based bristles!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In 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?

    Harrison Bardel's avatar
    Harrison Bardel 4/11/2019 5:48 PM
    Because people in America enjoy different things than other countries because it’s what is available.

    Some release smoke and it’s bad for animals which  some help trees grow that creates oxygen. For communities it’s bad to breathe which can make people die if they don’t have the right medicine.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
