REFLECTION QUESTIONBuildings Learn about the Legacy of RedliningHow does city planning and design relate to equity and climate change?
Bianca Li 4/29/2021 2:46 AMCity planning and design would affect the flow of the air, precipitation of rain into the underground water layer, in-house warming etc. So it is of great importance which every Gov should pay attention to. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller PortionsWhile dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?
Bianca Li 4/28/2021 11:39 PMEasier to control the actual potion we need to fulfill in every meal which helps to avoid food waste and is also good to health. -

Bianca Li 4/28/2021 8:51 PMSupporting local farmers is key. HK is business-oriented hence we lack of suitable land and policy to support their agricultural business. Gov shall we put more focus in this space otherwise farmers will all be gone soon. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONAction Track: Accelerating Solutions Support Indigenous Peoples' Land ManagementIndigenous speaker and activist Winona LaDuke says that, "most indigenous ceremonies, if you look to their essence, are about the restoration of balance — they are a reaffirmation of our relationship to creation. That is our intent: to restore, and then to retain balance and honor our part in creation." Why is balance important to sustainability?
Bianca Li 4/28/2021 8:19 PMLinks to unequal distribution of materials. Meat and food to usual people might just for hunger and living; could be an enjoyment to richer people for desire, and sometimes it causes food waste too. Eating more meat is unhealth and requires lots of resources to farm the livestock. We should find a right balance for it.
