The student discusses three key points in 3 sentences: 1) While living in a non-disposable culture is an important goal, the student notes it is difficult to achieve completely given reliance on disposable food packaging and limited space for growing food in an urban setting. 2) The student believes the most that can be done as an individual is to bring reusable bags to shops, recycle, and reuse materials when possible. 3) The student emphasizes the importance of educating communities about environmental issues so that waste can be properly disposed of or reduced, as communities with fewer

Write your reflection or insights on the video TEDx Great Pacific Garbage Patch - Van Jones -
Environmental Justice (150 – 500 words, 50 points)

 The idea of not living in a disposable culture is a great one, but I am not sure if it is possible at this point.
As an ultimate goal, it is great- but I still have to eat and most of my food comes in disposable wrappings,
even the stuff I buy in bulk. I could grow so stuff, but I live in a city, where my career and future are, so I
have limited land to grow grain. I would love to do more, but I don't think it is possible without top-down
change. From the bottom, there is little I can do besides bring my own bags to the grocery, recycle and
reuse. It is most important for the people to be informed about environmental issues, so that waste
reduction and disposal can be limited/taken care of properly to eliminate the harm that comes to humans.
Most of the communities affected are below the poverty line, in undeveloped countries, etc, and don’t
have the resources to change the way waste is handled around them, unlike communities with revenue
and resources.
