Enjoy a Meatless Meal

Producing 1 kg of beef emits as much greenhouse gas as driving 150 miles, meanwhile, 1 kg of veggies or grains leaves a much lighter footprint! This week, I’ll shrink my climate impact by having 1 meatless meals and/or 1 vegan meals each day.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? A patio container? Hanging basket? Windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?

For a long time, I thought I would be unable to garden due to a lack of access to land. After a while, I was able to utilize part of the property in front of my apartment to grow vegetables and herbs. HOWEVER, the most successful herbs I have grown have been in the care of my home. I have many scraps that have turned into usable goods as well as rosemary, that is less herb and more tree at this point. I plan to continue with many more plants to observe differences and research individual benefits.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

When you know who produces your food, you are connecting personally to your complex regional food system. What are the advantages of knowing who produces your food and where it comes from? How can knowing their food producers enable someone to advocate for a better quality of life for those who produce their food, both near and far?
Sheyenne Loveland 2/11/2026 8:35 AM
Knowing where your food comes from and how it is produced removes ambiguity around food production and promotes local agriculture. I know for me, learning how the specific items I am eating are prepared and cared for gave me a sense of connection to what materials I am using to nourish my body and helps me feel more in control.
