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?
Bill White 4/15/2019 4:42 AMI like not having to go out as often and use the gas. It helps tremendously with cost savings. Also, it helps the environment. Hopefully my kids pay attention to these lessons and use them to make the world a better place. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand Use Research PeatlandsMuch of Indonesia's peatlands have been drained so they could be replaced with palm oil or pulp and paper plantations. How can you make choices that help to protect peatlands, even if you live far away from one?
Bill White 4/15/2019 4:38 AMSo, peatlands are a valuable resource that help to fight CO2 emissions. Can't we artificially create some in communities? -

Bill White 4/09/2019 4:36 AMI mean, this challenge is pretty easy for me. I rarely eat meat anyway. I'm not opposed to it, but sometimes I have 3 meals a day with no meat. -
