Forests
Forest-Friendly Foods
I will replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation.

I will respect and protect biotic communities by practicing the seven principles of Leave No Trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

Avoid beauty products with micro beads or harsh chemicals that will feed into the ground and your water supply.

To reduce my consumption and waste and support my community, I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I've definitely been loving the sharing economy. Yesterday I got around 20 LED lightbulbs for free because someone didn't want them! I saved them from the trash and now I have plenty of lightbulbs! -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?
delaney fisher cassiol 4/27/2020 8:31 AMThere's a huge difference between mass produced food and traditional farming methods. The farmer is the most important part of the agrarian system and the machine is the most important part of the modern system, taking away jobs from the farmers. -
