  • 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?

    Thing that you can not put in the bin are oil.

    Places that are not close to big cities. People most affected would be low income people.

    Many people say that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” How would you respond to that statement?

    I would say you can but you really have to invest time and money into it.

    Health More Fruits and Veggies
    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?

    Not eating as much meat in a week helps because then we dont have to kill the animals and all the money invested into meat can go to something better.

    For me it is when I play soccer with my soccer team who are my friends. For family me and my mom go on runs. Me and my dad play pickle ball, basketball, soccer tennis, and about every sport.
