REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land Use Reduce Animal ProductsWhy do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our bodies, our planet, and other people?
Faith Holroyd 4/21/2021 9:26 AMWhile some may say there is a religious or cultural reason to the consumption rates, there is definitely an economic piece to it. When I switched to being a vegetarian 4 years ago, I faced a lot of concern over how I would be able to get the right protein and nutrition. Watching documentaries and reading a lot about the cause, I came to learn how much misinformation has been pushed out and how various organizations can control the narrative. These companies have more to gain by targeting the richer countries.
Beyond health benefits, eating less meat can result in a significantly smaller carbon footprint, use less water, reduce pollution. I am not one to push being vegetarian or vegan onto anyone, everyone should do what they believe is right for them, but it is eye-opening to start to unlearn the misinformation that has been passed down. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustry Learn About & Practice Sustainable FashionHow can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?
Faith Holroyd 4/14/2021 6:48 AMI was blown away by the impact fast fashion is having on ruining local economies as well as creating unnecessary waste. Moving from a few seasons a year to "52 seasons" is absurd. After watching this documentary I am determined to be less consumeristic and move to alternatives of either thrifting when possible or buying from more responsible companies. I am also looking at ways to minimize based on the outcomes of the Project 333, which shows that you clearly don't need more clothes and accessories.
