    I told my friend about the documentary and what I had just learned and she also made the decision to be vegetarian with me.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Reduce Animal Products
    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    After watching the documentary about industrialized food It really made an impact on me. I've been vegetarian in the past and really enjoyed it. It inspired me to be vegetarian again and I have been consistent every since I made this decision.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Limit Social Media
    Social media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also create echo chambers and take more time than we realize or intend to give. After completing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?
