    How can you advocate for transportation systems which minimize environmental impact while also meeting human needs?

    in these days transport is not a big deal as all are holding a car and bike. but for quite small distance it would be better to use a bicycle to energize our self.

    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?

    Eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat is good rather than having junk foods.
    we will have a good digestive system and  healthy mind
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Transportation
    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?

    But i do not encourage work from home, as per me i would be lazy if i work from home as i will not go away from system, a kind of laziness.

    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    Rajitha R's avatar

    we should keep a schedule for having food like Veggies and fruits.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? Do you think this might enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?

    Rajitha R's avatar
    Rajitha R 10/22/2019 8:02 AM
    yes, obviously we should know how much the farmers are hard working to produce the feed we eat.
