REFLECTION QUESTION
Health and Education Learn about the Need for Family Planning

What did you learn about the need for family planning? How do the needs of different people in different places compare to each other?

Zella McMahon 1/20/2021 8:31 AM

The need for family planning is important everywhere, but especially in places in poverty. The reason for this is because if a family is barely able to feed themselves then adding another kid will make everything worse and they would get even less food.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Support Local Food Systems

Dependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?

Zella McMahon 1/20/2021 8:27 AM

I normally get some of my food from local sources but not much. I feel like it is important to support small farms, especially right now and buying fresh fruits and vegetables is a good way to do that.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller Portions

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?

Zella McMahon 1/20/2021 8:24 AM

Eating smaller portions is better for our environment as well as our health. Getting smaller portions helps with overeating because we don't have to eat as much if we don't want to.
