    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?

    Using smaller plates or serving yourself in courses (so when you finished your plate you can go back and get a little bit more) can benefit the amount your eating. If you are on a strict diet or are trying to loose wait you can balance out the amount of food. So not only are you not wasting food by putting too much on your plate but you are also able to benefit your human health. And this also relates to the environment but if you are having meat for dinner you are not wasting the meat that you took from KILLING an animal.

    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?

    People in richer countries eat more meat the people in other replaces because they are able to provide themselves with the money to hire someone to kill animals for them or to just buy meat that has already been ready. People in countries who aren't as rich are less likely to eat meat because they can be put in danger when trying to kill animals and they have to make materials that help them catch animals for meat. So they provide mainly off of plants.

    Electricity Carbon Footprint Calculator
    What can you do to either lower your carbon footprint OR "offset your carbon footprint. When you "offset" you basically pay it forward---you do something kind for the environment or another person to balance out your carbon use if you can't reduce it.

    Probably if Me and my family stoped trowing out so much food waste or use our car a little less, i think that would lower my carbon footprint by a lot.

    You are able to see what nature looks like around you and connect you to the place that you are exploring. Actually seeing what has helped you through your life provides a deeper approach when seeing nature. You're also able to experience peace in nature because you get to look at trees and greenery. You get tor to enjoy nature and feel that deep connection

    Health and Education Why have the accomplishments of African Civilizations been obscured?
    Why have the accomplishments of African Civilizations been obscured? How can we sustain these accomplishments and their impact?

    the accomplishments of African civilizations have been up scared mostly because of slavery and skin color. What mean by this is that because slavery has been around for so long in places like Africa, whenever a huge accomplishment is made it's not really shown in society because everyone wants to avoid a place like that and that's why think people mostly avoid it. we can sustain these accomplishments in their impact. I think we can do this by making any accomplishment big. talking about it, sharing it with friends. Make it seem like it's not something weird made from "Africa" and make it seem like something cool that was just- made.
