REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodMichael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?
Jacette Valenzuela 10/06/2021 8:27 AMI agree and wish this was affordable and accessible to all communities, specifically BIPOC communities. It should be affordable to nurture your body. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteWhat have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?
Jacette Valenzuela 10/06/2021 8:22 AMRemoving caps from water bottles before tossing into recycling is no longer necessary. But overall, avoid plastic bottles.
