  • 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?

    There is a place to recycle things like paper if you don't have the curbside bin. You can also recycle bottles which is harder than I expected to find.

    How is it that we have global food systems, yet 30% of Americans are classified as food insecure? Mississippi has the highest rate of food insecurity and the highest rate of obesity. Our lack of healthy/nutritious food is a direct link to the obesity problems we have in the US.

    It is the farmers who are affected the most. The produce is affected and due to change in the seasonal rains, they are affected throughout!
