REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Watch a Documentary about Food SovereigntyHow does food sovereignty address the complex agrarian transition to modern food systems?
Kieran Miller 5/06/2020 6:16 AMbecause some people don't like to think about where meat comes from. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONOceans Learn about Our OceansWhat 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?
Kieran Miller 4/17/2020 5:51 AMOne way oceans support life on earth is that their a food source to humans, they can also be used as water supplies. -
Kieran Miller 4/15/2020 7:36 AMI joined the challenge because my teachers wanted me too. But now I like getting points. Not for my team, but for my self-a-steam. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn 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?
Kieran Miller 4/15/2020 7:35 AMThis does surprise me, but of course you can't just by one meal eat than buy another meal than eat it. But it still surprised me. I would rather use the money to get a new phone. Maybe a TV. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Kieran Miller 4/15/2020 6:56 AMI would say because they can afford it more easily because meat can be expansive. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWildlife Research a Wild AnimalWhat interesting facts did you learn about the animal you researched? What are some of your favorite things about this animal?
Kieran Miller 4/15/2020 6:47 AMWell I learned that a cheetah rarely catches food because it's hard work so sometimes they go a long time without eating.
