REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Eloise Campbell 10/31/2023 7:42 AMNo, I have not learned about silvopasture before today. I think the biggest advantage is the shade for the cows. I think the shade is most helpful because it provides an opportunity for the cows to be heather which in turn helps other things like milk production and meat quality. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Eloise Campbell 10/30/2023 7:59 AMNow that I know the difference I will keep my food for longer and no through it away as soon as it is “expired”. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksHow is your diet currently impacting deforestation? What can you do to decrease your negative impact and increase your positive impact?
Eloise Campbell 10/30/2023 7:32 AMWhere traditional agriculture favors growing a diverse set of crops and rotating them according to soil needs, our current system of food production is centered around monoculture crops that rely on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to grow. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityHad you ever heard of biomass technology before you took this challenge? What did you learn that surprised you? Share your new knowledge with your friends!
Eloise Campbell 10/25/2023 7:40 AMI had learned a little bit about biomass technology in 7th grade science but this was more in-depth and I was surprised by the fact that it does not produce anything into the air and is very clean. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityGeothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?
Eloise Campbell 10/24/2023 7:47 AMFor me, I would invest in passive because lawmakers can give property owners incentives like tax credits which will reduce the money we spend out of pocket to get passive geothermal in buildings. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityMicro turbines can be placed on large structures to take advantage of stronger, steadier breezes. The Eiffel Tower now sports vertical axis turbines that produce electricity for use on site. Where could micro turbines potentially be installed in your city?
Eloise Campbell 10/06/2023 7:28 AMThey could be installed on top of the courthouse in downtown Asheville.
