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

    If organic food cannot feed the world, such “the world” should not be sustained.  (too radical?)
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Wildlife Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    I usually have some sort of bag or backpack so just put items there.  Or else, just buy it later?  Ask for paper bag?
  • 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?

    Marketing.  People are brainwashed by meat / dairy industry.  The dirty secrets are well-hidden and we are so ignorant that we don’t think about consequences of our “lifestyle”.
