  • 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?

    Having a busy lifestyle makes it difficult to prepare healthy food at home. Fast food is so readily available in the US and it is easy to go through the drive-thru rather than go to the grocery store and cook a meal. Just as it is easy to fall into the fast food trap, we are so lucky to have availability of fresh fruit and vegetables and the ability to choose to eat healthy. It takes a little work and planning but can be done!

    Transportation Choose a Carbon Offset
    A round-trip flight from New York City to Los Angeles emits just over 1.5 tons of CO2—per person. That’s a lot of carbon! What can you do to reduce the number of flights you take per year?

    Technology such as video conferencing, Skype, and FaceTime are a great way to keep in touch with others and offer a less expensive and more environmentally friendly option to air travel.
