This week you should analyze something Colin talks about from a systems perspective. How are some of the systems that Colin discusses interrelated? How do they compare to the systems you are studying in your J201 and ENVS201 classes?

1. What does “local” food mean to you? What aspects of your food’s production,  growth and the distance it travels should be important when considering lowering the impact of your food?

2. Did you make an effort to pay attention to your food choices this week? Did you find it easy to choose local foods while living in the dorms?

Happy week 3!

After you read Chapter 3, post your thoughts on the blog about the following:

1. On page 42, Colin muses a bout why garbage bags are not transparent. What do you think would happen if bags were transparent?

2. On page 45, Colin talks about living in the moment. If we could all live MORE in the moment, how might our environmental impact be affected?

Have a great week!
