    Every single time I use delivery food services the apps have options to let you know which restaurants have a sustainable package, I try to order more from those type of restaurants and also applications and gov institutions are pushing towards that change to be done.

    That we can save money and at the same time not wasting food whereas other people in the world are in food need. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Smaller Portions
    While 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?

    This past weekend I took another step on supporting food delivery services that have eco friendly options. There are also some campaigns online to have businesses switch from non-reusable plastics to some compostable options. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Industry Find a Local Climate-Friendly Supermarket
    How close is the nearest climate-friendly supermarket to your home? How could you encourage local supermarket to reduce or phase out their use of HFC refrigerants?

    There are very few options still in Mexico City but I have found some small businesses that offers good options, since they are small supermarkets they don't have HFC refrigerants. It would be nice to see supermarkets in Mexico take a better approach to this.
