    I influenced all of my friends to change their printers to double sided printing.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Find Local Recycling Depots
    Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors, including market demand for recyclables. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

    The biggest thing I learned what that you cannot bag your recyclables or else the materials inside may not get recycled. Plastic shopping bags and the film plastic bags (that you use for fresh produce) cannot be recycled in the curbside recycling. However, in my area I got 370 results of local places, mostly retail stores, that will recycle these items for me. plasticfilmrecycling.org explains why recycling it important when the say, "[It] contributes to sustainability and provides valuable materials for American manufacturers".

    You can really enjoy the most, when you want to be with your thoughts. Cry, yell, laugh, anything you need to. And once we are done and look around you actually feel better, relieved, comfortable, feel better.

    Food Watch a Documentary about Food Sovereignty
    How does food sovereignty address the complex transition from localized food systems to modern global food systems?

    Food sovereignty is the right of people to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through sustainable methods. Unfortunately the world isn't designed for crops and animals to grow or exist in abundance in all areas where humans exist. Luckily through globalization we live in a world where transportation to other parts of the world is possible at expedient methods.

    The environmental factors effect me by what I breath in or how long I stay outside.
