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?
Craig Diaz 4/05/2019 3:02 PMThe mindset of North Americans, the states moreso than others, is centered around the freedom to do as one pleases and a sense of privilege. Because meat is a high value product (and for most is considered rather delicious), the consumption of meat provides for American pride. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Fix Leaky FaucetsWhat are other easy and low-cost ways to reduce your water usage at home?
Craig Diaz 4/05/2019 2:56 PMNumber one: stop letting the water run while brushing your teeth.
Number two: wash dishes in a plastic bin with soapy water instead of with constantly running water, then rinse as needed.
Number three: not for everyone, but let use the toilet more than once before flushing.-
Craig Diaz 4/05/2019 8:43 PMoh, and number four: you don't need to shower every single day!
