I would say that you can feed the world with just organic food and it may even be better for the earth for everyone to have an organic based diet.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Choose Organic IngredientsMany people say that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” How would you respond to that statement?
-
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Jocelyn vazquez 10/27/2020 5:10 PMOne way you would incorporate other personal values is by exercising with your friends or family out in nature, instead of inside a building that uses energy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Jocelyn vazquez 10/15/2020 1:49 AMEating more meat greatly affects the planet and people because it increases the chance of obesity and other health problems. In addition the livestock sector generates as much greenhouse gas emissions as vehicles do. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Learn More and AdvocateHow do the differences in access to reliable transportation affect your community? What would you like to see change?
Jocelyn vazquez 10/15/2020 1:42 AMThere are very little visible bus stops which can make it hard to know where to go or that it is even an option to get to that destination. I would like to make the bus stops more visible and acessable for all people. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Walk InsteadHalf of all trips made in the US are three miles or less; 72% of them are driven. Does this statistic describe your own transportation habits? If so, how might you incorporate more muscle-powered transportation in your daily life?
Jocelyn vazquez 10/15/2020 1:39 AMBack home that was my transportation habit, but once i moved i now walk more and if it is too far to walk i use public transportation. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportation Use Public TransitThe US spends roughly 20% of its federal budget on defense. In contrast, 2% goes to education, 20% goes to social security and just 3% goes to transportation infrastructure. Do these numbers surprise you at all? Why or why not? How would you adjust them if you could?
Jocelyn vazquez 10/13/2020 3:49 PMNo it does not surprise me. We live in a country where building a strong defense system is more important than educating people and providing transportation for them. I would give more of the federal budget to education and transportation because that is where its really needed. -
