REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife Leave No Trace

Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?

Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/02/2020 9:41 AM

I thin human waste should be more worked on just because they gave alot of reasons on how people leave bottles, food, toilet paper or even more worse things in the ground, rocks and etc . No matter if they put signs , people still won’t listen but if they take more action in some other form I think it will fix some ecological problems.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate Stay on the Ground

What was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?

Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/01/2020 11:55 AM

My process wasn’t easy since we needed to find a different transportation which also changes some things around by how we going to get their and etc but we find solutions all the time so it wasn’t that bad restructuring it . I would avoid more air travel in the future by taking a bus or driving to the location .

REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate Use Muscle Power

How do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience or enjoyment differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?

Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/01/2020 11:43 AM

It affects my community because since everyone even myself uses cars to get to places, we usually don’t see the risks on how much gas we are spending which we can even be saving money as well as sometimes the car smells can be dangerous for our health and even makes our temperatures rise which can cause alot of problems to us since it’s trapping heat and a lot of global warning problems . My experience doesn’t differ because I think they are all equal the same maybe not 100% but I wouldn’t mind walking or doing any other transportation if I can’t drive or if can I wouldn’t mind a change .

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Compost Food Waste

New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?

Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/01/2020 11:25 AM

I notice that my family and I throw away alot of food specially since we are a bigger family , alot people sometimes doesn’t eat alot or they don’t want that so the food doesn’t become good to eat no more so we throw it all away which is bad because it becomes more than it really was. I will use compost once it is ready by sometimes reusing things that aren’t food or putting it in my garden since it can be reduce and even by doing that can help the things grow around it or even animals that need food or just not making it so toxic by throwing so much and just cooking less .

Oceans Learn about Our Oceans

What is one way in which oceans support your life on Earth? What is one way you can help take care of ocean health with your actions?

Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/01/2020 11:15 AM

One way ocean support my life on earth is by giving me food like fish or any other animal to eat for survival and healthy lifestyle since it’s healthy as well as having water being used for our supplies and even the things we need . One way I can help the ocean with my actions is by not wasting so much food or things I have too much off and recycling because it does hurt other species that actually live in the ocean by that.

People Connect While Social Distancing

How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?
Jocelyn Rodriguez 4/01/2020 11:02 AM
It helps my own mental and emotional health by making me more open and not isolating myself from the world but to also reach out when I’m not okay. It can help support others by letting them know their not alone and even motivate them to do things and just be heard and a good laugh if they need one and just company .
