jordyn cameron 4/23/2019 8:02 AMwas Lovely to take time and enjoy nature over easter break. I got to go to a nursery and look at all the healthy plants they had for sale. it was nice to see that they had a wide variety of trees that once planted, not only would add to a space a a beautiful decorative accent but also help the earth. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodClean air, clean water and healthy food are three reasons to care about regenerative agriculture. What are some other reasons?
-
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
jordyn cameron 4/11/2019 8:17 AMI would rather use that $1,500 a year on things that i find fun. like going to New York or going to the movies or renting a car to go hiking with some friends. that or i would save up the money so that i could take a really nice vacation. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodFun 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?
jordyn cameron 4/11/2019 8:13 AMsmaller portions allow people to manage their weight better. on top of that smaller portions means less food waste and food can be rationed out longer. -
jordyn cameron 4/04/2019 8:32 AMnot only was this an assignment for my environmental studies class, but i genuinely care about our environment. my dream would be to educate younger generations about what they can to to not only keep the planet healthy but to continue thriving for ways to restore the earth to a better state. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodIn 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?
jordyn cameron 4/04/2019 8:30 AMin North america,the diet is very meat based and i believe thats because north american culture bellieves that meat is the best and sometimes only source of protein. beyond that meat can be traced back to cavemen and even North american didnt necessarily have caveman we tnd to think that we did. its easy to produce and can be sold at low prices
