Food insecurity in Philly

Posted by Emma Westerfer in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · C on Sunday, May 12, 2024 at 11:58 pm

In my groups PSA we talked about the definition, causes, who is affected, and solutions of how to fix it. Me and my group didn’t really consider choosing another option because we all like this one. personally when I was choosing a topic I felt like I was so blind to the food insecurity issues going on because I have never had to deal with it personally, so I wanted to learn more about it. I felt that especially living in the world and city we do it needs to be talked about more, because it’s a huge problem that could be deadly in some cases.

-Me and my group did well with working with each other and getting it done we had a lot of fun. We could have done better in creating a script and being more serious.

  • The most meaningful part of creating this was me and my group learning this together and being able to get it done and come out of it being less naive and blind to things.

Stone Soup

Posted by Emma Westerfer in Environmental Science · Sasso-Chryst · C on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 10:50 pm

My group created a sustainable food industry. We came up with a food truck Stone Soup where we go to low income neighborhoods who don’t have the best food and feed them for a low price.

I have learned there is much value that has to do with biodiversity and especially natural resources of the Earth. We can get so many sustainable and heathy resources that can keep humans, our environment, and animals healthy. When it comes to the different earth systems the way fore them to work and help us is if we help them. By keeping out land and waters clean, lowering out pollution rate, and advocating for everyone else to do the same. As a whole we can live more sustainable by doing a lot of little things that can make a huge different. For example walking or bike riding instead of driving a car or taking a bus. Using less fertilizers that can ruin the food we eat and hurt the animals. We can stop overfishing in our oceans so out aqua life is good. There are so many non expensive things we can do.

By doing this project I learned different ways that I can tweak my life to keep the environment more sustainable like I said above. Something that surprised me when looking into the food industry was the different fertilizers that were going on the food we eat and hurting the animals that also eat the food or the animals we are eating. they make our food unhealthy and dangerous. There are healthy sustainable fertilizers they could be using. In my project group I did my part for the different checkpoints na found a lot of good information. Me and my group mates collared on different visions of out final project and made them come to life. I created out sustainable garden.

  1. One way the Earth Systems affect each other is weather. When it affects the hydrosphere we get rain, snow, hail, etc. For example, Humans (biosphere) breathe air (atmosphere) and water (hydrosphere) helping the soil and plant (geosphere.) Also weather can affect how they connect depending on what it is like on a certain day.
  2. If you can understand what’s going on in Environmental science around your state, country, or even world you can learn ways to prevent or help certain natural disasters. For example if you know the causes to certain natural disasters you can help prevent them from happening.
