    This challenge is going well. It's quite sad to know Earth Month is practically over now and that it is the last day.

    I noticed that people are usually throwing away more than I thought. I will try to make an area around my house to put compost until a truck can come.

    Transportation affects my engagement in my community well because I am upstate right now, and it is very nice to take a hike or bike, so it is fun while helping the environment.

    A sustainable water future in my region would look like everyone had water and no one overusing it. My upstate house (where I am right now) is 15 minutes away from the croton reservoir, the state's main water supply, so it is important that people nearby don't take it for granted.
  • 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?

    People in richer countries eat meat because the meat is expensive, so they can afford it easier. Eating meat messes up food webs and biodiversity because there is no secondary or primary consumers.

    Well, spending more time outside gave me a better sense of where everything is upstate. I got to look around and take in the views and breathe good pure oxygen.
