REFLECTION QUESTION
Land Sinks Buy Bamboo

Are bamboo alternatives readily available in your community? If not, what are other sustainable alternatives?

Hunter Romo 11/01/2022 6:38 PM

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?

Hunter Romo 11/01/2022 9:58 AM

I'm trying to consume less and repurpose more and be more conscious of when I can reuse something rather than dispose of it. If I need to buy something new, I'll make it a point to buy something that will last me a long time and maybe spend a little bit more money in the short term to have a product that will last longer.

Coastal, Ocean, and Engineered Sinks Smart Seafood Choices

Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

Hunter Romo 10/25/2022 1:51 PM

The only advisories in Monterey county are mercury concentration advisories for bat rays and leopard sharks, both of which are not in my diet. If I eat fish, I eat local seafood as much as possible or catch my own if it's in season.
