I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Eat Plant-Based MealsWhat was the tastiest meatless or vegan meal you ever had or had recently? Did you make it? Can you share a recipe?
Emily Radomski 10/14/2022 10:59 AMGuacamole and tortilla chips are vegan and that's basically the best food ever. There are so many great meatless/vegan foods, though. My husband and I used to make a delicious vegan pizza using Follow Your Heart "mozzarella" shreds [before I was diagnosed with celiac :( ]

REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Forest-Friendly FoodsHow did you figure out ways to remove foods that are not forest-friendly?
Emily Radomski 10/07/2022 12:49 PMA few ways to be a more forest-friendly consumer are: reduce or eliminate meat (esp. beef) from your diet, buy locally-grown produce, and look for labels like Rainforest Alliance Certified and FSC certified (though these orgs aren't perfect, they're a step in the right direction). -
REFLECTION QUESTIONRegenerating Nature Calculate My Water FootprintWhat is one way you will reduce your water use? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your water use?
Emily Radomski 10/05/2022 3:25 PMThe vast majority of my water footprint comes from the food I eat and the stuff I buy. I try to only buy things that I need or really want - one silver lining to living in a small apartment is that it can only hold so much stuff, and I hate clutter! I also love to shop second-hand.-
