REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity

What are some of the barriers that exist to women and girl's equitable participation or representation in your community? Do you experience these barriers?
Dana Hanceanu 4/29/2022 3:10 AM

I think they are companies which are still preferring man instead women, when it comes to hiring. Luckily I haven't experienced such barriers , but I am sure they are enough in a lot of areas.

I allready switched to an electricity provider which is 100% green(water based) and I intend to search for a water provider as green as possible.

REFLECTION QUESTION

Why do you think it is important to eat less meat?
Dana Hanceanu 4/15/2022 3:02 AM

Because it has one of the biggest co2 prints in food and because it is healthier for the body to balance the total quantity of meet and vegetable source food.
It was noticed that people having a balanced food diet are healthier than ones that have meat on a daily bases.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Health & Equity

What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?
Dana Hanceanu 4/11/2022 9:52 PM

I noticed that especially the kids don't feel the need to bond with other kids when they are outside (due to so much time spent in front of PC) and they tend to mix up the reality they see in the games/movies with the real world.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Basic Needs & Security

How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?
Dana Hanceanu 4/11/2022 7:49 AM

I use the whole leek when cooking, as all its parts are good and since I can buy it in piece from the grocery store I can take it without this being packed.
I will try to prepare vegetable soup or chips out of the peels and vegetable tops. The other shells like eggshells will go for composting that I will use latter for flowers.
