Reflection QuestionCommunity Host A Watch PartyWhat did you learn about in the documentary you watched? How did it make you feel?
Abigail Foxwell 4/08/2021 8:20 AMI watched Cowspiracy and it talked about the animal agriculture industry. It made me sad and made me really think about where meat comes from and how bad it is for the environment. I learned more about meat is a driving force of CO2 levels in the atmosphere and by having no aminal products we can decrease emissions by 28%.-
Kenneth Slaysman 4/09/2021 2:15 PMCowspiracy is a good one. The adoption of traditional manufacturing methods in farming and animal ag is awful.

Abigail Foxwell 4/03/2021 10:23 AMI walk my dog and I get to experience the nice weather. I also get to wave and talk to my neighbors from afar. It is so peaceful and wonderful being outside! -
Reflection QuestionEnergy Turn it offHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Abigail Foxwell 4/01/2021 10:11 AMThe electricity near me is generated via Natural gas. This is better than coal but has other issues to the environment. It increases CO2 levels, traps heat, and causes air pollution. The process of fracking can cause the leaching of dangerous chemicals and can lead to sinkholes.
