My ecochallenge is going well so far. I try to only have one meal with meat or have only chicken instead of beef because beef is worse for the environment over chicken. I am also trying to be mindful with what I am buying and making sure it's only things that I need over wants. The past few days, I have tried to not buy anything that isn't on campus so I am not wasting gas.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Simplicity

How is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Amelia Shives 10/27/2023 4:54 PM
Simplicity allows people not to waste their money on objects or experiences that aren't needed to satisfy them. Often with objects we buy as wants and impulsively, we don't use them as often as we think we are going to, and what ends up happening is people throw that item out after they get bored of it and believe it's no longer useful.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?
Amelia Shives 10/27/2023 4:52 PM
Meat is more expensive which means that people in poorer counties have to find their protein somewhere else. Eating meets effects our planet in many ways including cows letting off methane, fertilizer for the crops to feed the animals, and putting animal products before people's lives

  Cows require a ton of energy and resources. We need to find alternative sources of protein.

I want to cut down on how much animal products I eat. Yesterday I successful only had one meal that had chicken in it. Plus, I want to cut down on my consumerism and buy less "wants" and focus on my "needs"
