How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation Work from Home

It takes the average worker in the United States 26 minutes to travel to work. One way to fix long commutes would be to make cities more affordable. An even simpler option: promote the use of telework. Are you in an industry that would allow you to work from home? What are some obstacles you might find yourself facing while working from home?

Fatema Adamji 10/23/2019 9:20 AM

Yes, I am allowed to work from home. I find it distracting being so close to my bed but also do not have a proper working space that can help me get into the zone. I also miss chatting with my coworkers and having lunch with them when I am alone at home.

Canning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?

Fatema Adamji 10/23/2019 9:18 AM

I love summer fruit and home made food from my aunt. I like to freeze those dishes to enjoy when I am feeling homesick.

Yes, this is a huge amount of wasted food. I would rather use this on my rent!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

Fatema Adamji 10/23/2019 9:16 AM

There is more access to food and people can afford to. Eating more meat means more land is required for pasture which leads to less land available for forests (which are important for oxygen creation) and this contributes to global warming
