Jessica and I chose "Eating Locally and Seasonally" as our soapbox topic. We decided to team up because her idea was to do a project on eating locally and my idea was eating seasonally and we realized: You can only eat seasonally if you're eating local. In other words, if you're eating locally you have to be eating seasonally as well. They fit together quite well, because you can't really do one without the other. We wanted to choose something that we hadn't covered too extensively in the class. And although it was important that we felt passionate about the topic, we loved that there was still much to learn for ourselves within the topic. I certainly learned a great deal. Toward the end of my research I read something that we didn't end up including in the video, which was that most Americans are more willing to change their eating habits to eat locally/seasonally than they are willing to cut a food group out of their diet (vegetarianism/veganism.) I thought that was really interesting. Hope you learn as much as we did!
It told me that my file was too big to upload here, so here's a link to the video:
