    Farmers are a large community that is affected by environmental degradation and irresponsibility. These actions increase climate change, which leads to extreme weather conditions such as floods and droughts that greatly damage crops and their form of livelihood.

    Food sovereignty ensures the appropriate ecological, social, economical, and cultural framework is met. However, food sovereignty is often overlooked in modern global food systems, as mass farming of both animals and crops overlooks many of these framework aspects in pursuit of capital growth.

    Thrifting clothing is a great way to express your personality while keeping sustainable values in mind! These stores have such a diversity in styles and clothing, so each person can use what they find for a unique look, while keeping clothing out of landfills.

    I really appreciate that the reflection questions are more so prompts to make me think more about the topic, rather than open ended questions about how an action made me feel.  They have allowed me to further develop my understandings and form stronger opinions than if I were simply checking off actions.

    A strong sense of community stems from a willingness from each member to connect with, respect, and help each other.  Social inequalities not only impact the ability to connect with one another, but the differences can foster ill feelings towards others both ways- those of privilege may have a lack of respect for those underprivileged, causing...

    Direct factors such as air quality or food consumption impact my health through whether or not they provide me with the beneficial components important to my biological health- i.e. nutrition, oxygen- while other indirect factors such as access and ability to physically connect with nature impact more of my physical fitness and mental health. ...

    I think some of the largest intersections between environmental, community, and personal health are pollutions in air quality, availability of sustainably produced foods over processed foods, and urban planning.  Obviously air quality directly impacts all three as it's an essential tenet of existence, the availability of sustainably produced...

    Food growing and manufacturing practices impact both producer and consumer health directly, effects the land and materials being utilized, and effects surrounding areas.  Things like pesticides and insecticides not only pose health risks to the people applying them or those eating foods that have been treated, and direct harm is caused by...

    The advantages include feeling connected to the food more as a life source than as commodities, and fully appreciating the food.  Knowing their food producers is a connection that someone would likely want to share with others so that they may experience the same sense of grounding or belonging and expand the community being connected.  In...

    I think I do experience it in a different way, but not by much.  Walking helps me to feel more a part of my community as I'm more interactive with it than being in a car on the road, but I am pretty observant and appreciative of the people, places, and things that I pass while driving.  If the weather is better than snow or rain, I often drive...
