REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseWhat was the most interesting thing to learn about sustainable aquaculture practices?
Marion Sim 10/31/2023 7:45 PMI think while learning about aquaculture, it was interesting to learn what it even was. I had no idea what aquaculture was until I started this eco challenge. It was interesting to learn about how much goes into this and how normal aquaculture can have a negative effect on the environment because it is pretty much the ocean equivalent to livestock farms, but if it is done differently, can have some really good effects for the environment. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksAs you learn more about the scope and seriousness of the environmental challenges we face, what impact does that have on your thinking and actions? What are the parts that feel overwhelming? What parts help you feel hopeful?
Berkeley Newsom 10/31/2023 11:26 AMAs I learn more about the seriousness of the environmental challenges we face, I think more and more that the actions that we make, really have an impact, and we need to make sure that we are making good impacts. The statistics show that we are really not doing well, and that there is SO MUCH that we need to do to save our planet, which is very overwhelming. But there are still a lot of people that are really trying to make an impact, and although it is slow, it gives me some hope. -
