REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and EducationWhat are some of the barriers that exist to women's equal participation and/or representation in your community?
Ghinell Salmeron 5/17/2024 8:07 AMWhen women have the chance to work, many men look down at them and underestimate them. Women's wages are usually lower than a male's wage. It all depends on culture too. For me, my grandma didn't work and stayed at home with her kids and took care of them. My grandpa usually went out to work and maintain her. My mom stopped that, she met my dad and they both agreed they would BOTH work and help with the children. My grandma is still in the original culture that she grew up in but my mom wanted something different in her life. Thanks to her, at least my generation has a choice to either work, or stay as a housewife. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth and EducationWhat did you learn about the need for family planning? How do the needs of different people in different places compare to each other?

REFLECTION QUESTIONLand SinksMuch of Indonesia's peatlands have been drained so they could be replaced with palm oil or pulp and paper plantations. How can you make choices that help to protect peatlands, even if you live far away from one?

REFLECTION QUESTIONIndustryWhat did you learn about the climate impact of refrigerants? How do supermarkets contribute to this impact?
Ghinell Salmeron 5/02/2024 7:42 AMThe higher the temperature, the more heat they will absorb instead of water. Supermarkets use HCFC to keep items frozen. -
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?
Ghinell Salmeron 4/25/2024 7:42 AMI feel like these labels can help us which products to buy first and which ones can wait till when you come back. This can help with throwing away perfectly good products into waste.
