  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Meet My Local Farmers
    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?

    Buying easonal fruit and vegetables from local farmers, not only improves business in your community , but is also good for the environment as it reduces the CO2 generated during the transportation.

    My country, Spain is suffering a strong water scarcity and could become a deserted in  2100. This is why reforestation and taking measures on using only the clean water that we need and not wasting it is very important!

    We installed it both in the shower and in the kitchen. To avoid wasting water, I also use to take shorter showers (5-6minutes) and use a bucket for the water, until it gets warm, then tis water can be used for the toilet or for your plats.

    I recommended my fuirt and vegetable local shop to offer paper bags, instead of plastic bags to the customer and charge them. Free Plastic bags should not be an option anymore!
