HW

Week 7 - Discuss Your Food Mileage

Using the data you compiled under the Week 7 - Eco Moment (Dinner Data), discuss these questions:

1. How do your data relate to air, water, and energy uses/abuses associated with the average American meal--is it greater or less than the average miles driven per day in a typical American car? 
2. If your meal included meat, dairy or eggs, be sure to discuss the water footprint of these items. How is carbon footprint impacted by plant-based vs. animal-based products?
3. If your meal did not include animal products of any kind (vegan diet), discuss local alternatives for at least three main meal items.

Be sure to write a detailed main post here, presenting supporting facts and evidence from reliable sources.  When responding to your classmates, please add to the discussion with a fact-supported addition, opinion, gentle correction, or example, citing reliable sources.
