1. I would love to say that the environment is my number one priority when I walk into the grocery store and decide what to buy, but honestly, price is probably what I think about most. Being a poor college student and all that. However, I won’t just buy something because it is cheap. I, like Rachel, cook most of my meals, so my main purchases are fresh produce and I like to buy goods that are in season. I do splurge on occasion and shop at whole foods (which I love) and make the environmentally conscious grocery decisions. Living on my own, the environment has moved to the back burner when I buy food, but living at home, my mom tries to put the environment first and she buys organic whenever possible. I prefer the taste of organic foods, and hope to someday soon be able to factor them into my food choices much more.
2.Over the last day or two I cooked for myself, but I had a moment of weakness and had Chinese food delivered to my apartment. This delivery definitely had the greatest environmental impact because not only did the restaurant cook and package the food in plastic containers, but then a delivery-man had to get into a car and drive to my apartment. After reading the post of my group member, I am feeling pretty guilty about my choices… I will try to do better in the future and consider the environment more in my decision-making.
