REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Generation Watch a Video about Methane DigestersWhat does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
Darlene Clark 4/12/2019 4:42 AMI think that sustainability using "baby steps" is the best way to elicit behavior change. Even mentioning each time we shop in the grocery store, the need to discontinue the use of plastic bags helps--if enough people keep saying it, perhaps management of the store would change their policy. -
