Emilia Godinez 5/01/2022 8:12 PM

Since I do not work for a company, I will apply this to my own personal experience as a student who has been a part of Zoom meetings before. How I am able to ensure that these meetings honor my values is by making sure I remain patient, understanding, and respectful of others.

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?

Emilia Godinez 4/17/2022 10:41 PM

To answer the first question, it may also have to do with cultural, religious, and financial reasons. Eating more (red) meat is known to cause bowel cancer, cardiovascular disease, and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

Action Track: Healing & Renewal Eat Mindfully

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

Emilia Godinez 2/07/2022 6:22 PM

In my experience, I noticed while I was eating there was an urge to go on social media or turn on my television considering how that has somewhat become a habit for me. However, I allowed myself to fully enjoy my meal and recognize when I was truly full.

What are some attributes of an offset that you should consider before purchasing them?

Emilia Godinez 1/26/2022 10:29 PM
