Support Local Food Systems

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand UseMuch 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?
Samuel Wilson 4/24/2019 10:23 AMI can make choices to help protect peatlands by not buying any of the products they are making because if nobody is buying it then they will stop making it and the peatlands will be safer. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity GenerationMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Samuel Wilson 4/24/2019 10:08 AMI think we could potentially put a micro turbine on any tall building in downtown and on the sides of all the busy roads and highways. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodDependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?
Samuel Wilson 4/24/2019 9:54 AMThe advantage that inspires me most is the dependable fresh food because when the food is fresh and local it usually tastes way better. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodProducing 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?
Samuel Wilson 4/23/2019 6:13 PMThe kind of waste that motivates me the most in the use of the resources in nature that go towards them because we are being wasteful and not giving back -
REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Social JusticeHow can you advocate for transportation systems which minimize environmental impact while also meeting human needs?
Samuel Wilson 4/23/2019 6:12 PMI can advocate for them because they are better for the environment and spending 50 cents on the bus or getting a bus pass is way cheaper than having to pay for gas and keep up with a car. -
