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?

A sustainable community is one that actively educates its citizens about the scale of waste that is produced, and how to minimize that waste. To reach sustainability goals, it is important to spread awareness to those that do not know our effect as humans on the environment's health (and the cycle of how the environment in turn effects human health) and encourage/ give them the tools to make change.
