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?

Jami Haaning 4/29/2020 2:11 PM

Growing animals for their meat requires a lot of inputs. Water, chemicals, space, etc. And the impact is higher amounts of greenhouse gases and detrimental impacts on natural environments and aquifers. It is amazing how many resources go into making a pound of beef! I think eating meat has always been a status thing in the U.S.

Fresh Water Dishwasher Efficiency

How can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?

I already have low-flow faucets and showerheads and efficient toilets. I would like to install rain barrels to collect rainwater for watering our garden. We have quite a lot of native plants that don't require regular watering, so that also helps. We let what little lawn we have go brown in the summer to reduce water use as well.

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?

It does often feel overwhelming when faced with all the environmental issues of our time. But we know that sound policy, corporate and government action, combined with community stewardship can make a difference. I try to focus on local action as much as possible. Getting outside and getting my hands dirty by planting trees along a creekside or removing invasive species are a couple of ways that I like to make a difference.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife Research Benefits of Biodiversity

How can you encourage biodiversity by your own actions?

Jami Haaning 4/07/2020 11:07 AM

One way that our family encourages biodiversity is by planting as many native plants as possible. This supports pollinators, native bees, and other insects. It also requires much less water to maintain.

Another way I can encourage biodiversity is by advocating for the protection of Oregon forestland.
