I find that when I eat without distractions or technology I enjoy my food more. When I am eating and scrolling on my phone I don't think about what I am eating I kind of zone out.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use More Fruits And VeggiesHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Magnolia Martin 5/06/2024 12:02 PMEating more fruits and vegetables helps me to stay in shape and helps me feel good. When I eat too much processed food I start feeling bad and like I am crawling out of my skin. Eating less meat can help to not over use our resources. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Explore Other Transportation SolutionsWhat did you find out? What is the most interesting fact you learned?
Magnolia Martin 4/29/2024 12:23 PMI found out about a lot of different ways of transportation that do not take as much energy and reduce carbon emissions. I also realized that I am doing more of these on a regular basis than I knew. I thought that it was interesting that project drawdown was encouraging people to work from home and do business meetings from home because there is already an increase in office space vacancies. -
