Viridiana Arevalo Martinez 4/22/2020 1:37 PMExcel Energy? I saw a report about it. " A 152 kilowatt roof-mounted photovoltaic facility will be installed at the former Lyndale Garden Center. This facility will be a component of a redevelopment project to create a Town Center by combining retail, mixed income housing, and an expansive public place connected to Richfield Lake Park. Included will be a solar carport to demonstrate energy storage and an electric vehicle charging station. The array will utilize Titan solar modules from tenKsolar.

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?
Viridiana Arevalo Martinez 4/22/2020 11:50 AMmy mom told me stories about how her family couldn't afford to eat meat and it was very expensive. If she did have meat it would be every other week or soo. She also remembers the farmers around her would be exploited or cheated on with their production. So, I can see that as a potential issue.
