REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Eliminate Toxic PlasticsWhat single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?
Alex Tricoli-Walkanoff 10/27/2019 1:54 PMPlastic bags I regularly use for grocery shopping. I could start buying reusable bags to use at the grocery store rather than plastic bags -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Alex Tricoli-Walkanoff 10/27/2019 1:51 PMBecause meat is expensive so richer people tend to buy it. Poorer people eat things that are cheaper like fruits and vegetables. Eating meat affects people and our environment in a negative way
