REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal Products

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?

The other challenge I've done involves taking walks and taking note of the environment. During these walks I was more sensitive to the amount of pedestrian-friendly installments in the area such as cross-walks and wide/narrow streets.
