REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use More Fruits And Veggies

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

Timothy Hart 4/26/2023 11:54 AM

Eating less meat really cuts down on the amount of fat that I eat and I can really see how helpful it would be from a health perspective. On a global scale less meat means less land used for cattle grazing which means more wildland and wildlife. I am an advocate for sustainability but i have to have some meat every once in a while. I wish fruit can be cheaper as a small box of blueberries are 6 dollars!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Electricity Watch a Video about Methane Digesters

What does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?

Timothy Hart 4/26/2023 11:51 AM

I watched the video from MSU and I think this solution is quite doable. I think of my Community College Las Positas which has its own vineyard and cattle and I think solutions like mixing food waste and cattle manure to help them grow there grapes could also power the school. it almost sounds too good to be true!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Industry Practice the 5 R's

What are some more "R's" you could add to your daily practice to reduce your waste?

Timothy Hart 4/26/2023 11:42 AM

I have been recycling bottes as well as trying to cut back from them entirely. In addition to this I also reuse a cloth bag the school had given me during orientation. during this time the bag had ripped and instead of throwing it away i asked my mom to sew it for me so i can continue using the bag.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Eat Mindfully

Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

Timothy Hart 4/26/2023 11:40 AM

its nice to eat without distractions, first of all i find that I actually eat slower and I tend to get more full when there are no distractions around. Each day I have been setting a timer for lunch or diner and I eat with my headphones on with no music to block out noise or I sit outside alone and eat. this meditative eating really gets you to think of exactly what your eating and where it comes from.

Timothy Hart 4/26/2023 11:36 AM

I found it challenging to eat more fruit and vegetables every day because of the price of fruits and vegetables and how quickly they can go bad!
