REFLECTION QUESTION
Industry

What are some more "R's" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?
Jarrett Anthony 2/21/2021 5:47 PM
Another R that I can incorporate to my daily practices to reduce waste is to repair. This will be beneficial because I won't have to purchase another product since the one I have is repaired. This reduces packaging waste, reduces emissions from production, and it also saves me money.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?
Jarrett Anthony 2/21/2021 5:42 PM
Aside from environmental benefits, some other benefits is that meals I make can last longer since I am eating less, and I will have a lower caloric intake which makes calories easier to monitor which will make me healthier in the long run.
