REFLECTION QUESTION
Transportation

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

The city I live in (Buenos Aires) is actually very walkable, but there are some problems with the sidewalks, where sometimes they are too slim and in some places, the tiles are broken and accumulate water from the rains. There are also some intersections that lack adequate zebra crossings, and some parts of the city don't have good tree coverage (for there are no trees on the sidewalks or they are too small to give shadow).
A city thought for favouring people who walk over people that use their cars when moving around is definitely one that takes into account sidewalks, coverage from the sun and other elements and street crossings. My city provides a lot of this, but there's still some room for improvement.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use

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

I really think in the end if you don't have meatless/vegan easy options to cook and the whole system is guiding you to eat meat, animal-based or dairy products, it's difficult to stray from the line. I honestly think sometimes it's about status, sometimes about easiness and sometimes about not having enough knowledge.

It's really difficult to keep up with recycling when my country doesn't have legislation for packaging.

What are some more "R's" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?
Magda B 5/07/2022 3:42 PM
I think I could reject more.
Also, I feel like even being moderately informated about recycling and bringing most of my reciclables to be recycled in my town, there are too many things that are not recyclable. This brings me down every time.
