    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    I think I follow within these lines of a diet. I feel as if to make sure I do stay within the guideline I should list what I eat and the calories.

    I've always been a bottle of water kind of guy, I've been drinking filtered water from the refrigerator for a while now long enough to make a difference. I know how much plastic I used to waste by drinking so many bottles but now I refill.

    Who is affected by polluted water or a lack of access to water in your region? How are they affected?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 11:02 AM
    The question shouldn't be who is affected but who isn't affect by polluted water? Everyone    in your region is affected if the water is not drinkable or if they have no way to drink water.

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

    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 10:58 AM
    My transportation choices affect my engagement within my community because whether I drive or ride a bike. the obvious healthier choice is to ride a bike but unless as a community as a whole were to make changes there wouldn't be a big difference.

    How can you encourage biodiversity by your own actions?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 10:21 AM
    How I can encourage biodiversity by my actions is by planting pollen and nectar plants to attract good insects. I can maintain wetlands by conserving water and reducing irrigation and avoid draining water bodies on my property.

    It is often said that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” What is your response to that statement?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 10:17 AM
    My response to that statement is if you don't try, you don't know if you can or not.

    People Earth Day Action: Research and Support Local Organizations
    Why is it important to support local organizations and businesses? How does it help to build a more resilient community?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 10:14 AM
    Without the public's support of organizations and businesses would give them nothing because we are the support to give money and recognition. It helps to build a more resilient community giving strength being able to withstand and recover from adverse situations.

    Forests Plant Trees
    How is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 10:06 AM
    I feel as if it is good for my mental health because I now have the feeling of helping and loving earth feeling more connected. Trees give us oxygen as a whole not just one but planting a tree is helping you breathe and your spiritual health may play a role feeling connected to what you believe in.

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    Brandon levin's avatar
    Brandon levin 4/30/2020 9:59 AM
    This doesn't surprise me because I Know Americans tend to waste, where I would rather use this money is make there a way for food to get to those who don't have food to eat.
