REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityGeothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?
Twyla Norby 4/29/2021 5:39 PMThe most reasonable would be governmental investment, and very rich people could help a lot but they probably wouldn't. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Twyla Norby 4/19/2021 6:42 PMNo, i hadn't heard of it, and i think the biggest benefit is the livestock living with the ecosystem as opposed to people trashing it to grow them. It also reduces carbon emissions. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksHow is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?
