  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates
    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    Its more about your health you need to realize that when the date shows the recommend time frame to use before the drink or food no longer is right to eat. For example when the milk expires on let say 4/29/20 the next day i no longer want to drink the milk because i feel it no longer is fresh and respected enough to drink. Remember folks don't take the risk of eating or selling food that weeks or months old. You will regret t physically, mentally and emotionally.

    Instead of spending money on drinks all the time saving time and resources buy reusing the same water bottle and cup that i have at my disposal.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

    I think you have to look at this from a objective standpoint. We as a society needs to think about the long term aspect of life. Everyday we are hurting the earth without not realizing about the impact and potential negative effects we would have on our society.  now is the time to talk with the youth and teach them the effects this can have on our human race if we don't do anything about this before its too late,

    Despite what's going on in our world don't be afraid to adapt. I've been going out walking every day at least walking 2 miles a day while changing up my food habits and eating more natural fresh fruits and vegetables.
