OVERVIEW:
Before participating in this discussion board, you may wish to complete some of the other week 6 activities, as the question prompts are inspired by the readings and activities. I understand that you may not be able to complete all activities before participating in the discussion boards. You will get more out of the discussion boards if you check them at the end of the week and/or post your replies after you have completed the rest of the module.

REQUIREMENTS:
For this discussion board, you must complete the following:

Below are 5 question prompts. Pick two question prompts and provide a thorough response for each. Thorough responses should be 4-6 sentences. Post your responses on the discussion board. Make sure you include which question you are answering! It may not be obvious for each discussion board.
You will also have to respond to two of your peers' posts. Your responses are intended to add to the conversation and should be about 3-5 sentences. Maybe you agree/disagree with someone's responses. Explain why that is. Maybe your fellow classmate made a point that you hadn't thought of, and you can explain what you learned from their post. Maybe you have a thought to add to their post. Did their post prompt a question? Ask it! There are many other response opportunities!

You do not have to address both question prompts in your statement. Do not copy or paraphrase someone else's comment. You will lose points for doing so.
Finally, respond to someone that posted on your thread (your original post). Thank them for their comment AND add something else. You can use strategies from #2 to continue the conversation.

What can individuals or institutions (e.g., restaurants, grocery stores, schools) do to reduce their food waste? Describe at least three methods.
Discuss at least three ways manufacturers can reduce packaging OR increase recyclable packaging. Maybe you have seen companies make this switch, or perhaps, you have seen excessive packaging that you think needs reduced.
Do you think the large city nearest to you is sustainable? Explain your response with sufficient details. Remember, not everyone will be familiar with your city.
