  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Composting
    Producing 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?

    Honestly all of the above are important. In addition to the wasted energy and resources, it also motivates me to be less wasteful when I think about how many people lack access to food.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

    As a society we can most definitely make a difference for future generations by lowering consumption and going green. I feel good about residing in a city that encourages and has programs available for composting and recycling. I joined this challenge to show support for my organization and to make my individual contributions.
