REFLECTION QUESTIONWildlife Leave No TraceEducator 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?

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?
Aurora Brookens 4/29/2020 3:19 PMMaybe people in richer countries feel entitled to eat more meat and it doesnt really matter what it is, as long as it's unique. Depending on where you are, there is a domino effect where the more you eat, the less meat is available for animals to eat and they die which leaves something undone, to put it simply. It's more complicated than that. -
