REFLECTION QUESTION
Materials Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants

Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?

What a coincidence that my family was already planning to mulch around the trees in our yard!
Although we were going to for aesthetic purposes, I’m so excited to hear that there’s a practical, earth-saving benefit to it too!

It’s cool noticing how a lot of the things I’m doing to be eco-friendly have become habits! Such as not using a bag if I didn’t bring my own, striving to not waste food and taking shorter showers!

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?

Isabel Peirce 4/10/2019 7:42 PM

Not only have I been composting at school, but my family has been talking about starting our own compost at home! Yippee
