Have you ever asked yourself...

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:19:22 UTC

Who picked this banana I'm eating

Focus on having ENOUGH vs having more

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:18:47 UTC

Every little bit counts

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:18:14 UTC

Do you part

Creating a climate of change

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:17:43 UTC

Sign a postcard and mail to Ottawa

SHARING IS CARING

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:16:11 UTC

Do your decisions take into account the 7 billion people within our GLOBAL family

LIVE SIMPLE SO THAT OTHERS CAN SIMPLY LIVE

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:15:29 UTC

THINK WE

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:11:58 UTC

XY Game same as Public Good Game

-Picking Y means putting ALL $100 into "Our Money"

TAKE ACTION

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:11:12 UTC

Move from a vague feeling of compassion to DETERMINED COMMITMENT

One million deaths is a statistic, one death is a tragedy

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:10:48 UTC

CO2 creation comparison

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:08:38 UTC

0.6 metric tons per person in Ethiopia

14.6 metric tons per person in North America

ETHIOPIAN DROUGHT

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:07:03 UTC

The effects of climate change are hurting people that don't even contribute to the problem

ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES TO BE IN SOLIDARITY WITH OTHERS

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:06:16 UTC

Analogy: Pulling babies out of the water

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:05:06 UTC

Are we really solving the problem?

We need to go up the river and address the source

Eating 1 chocolate bar...

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:04:26 UTC

consumes 12 hours of labour

Ivory Coast largest cocoa bean producers in the world

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:02:34 UTC

- workers have unfair wages

- don't even know what bean is used for

Solidarity is when...

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:01:31 UTC

We take those seeds and allow them to grow into actual ACTION

Feeling of compassion is,,,

consulm — 2015-11-18 05:00:11 UTC

only the BEGINNING (or seeds) of solidarity

SOLIDARITY IS NOT...

consulm — 2015-11-18 04:56:42 UTC

Vague feeling of compassion or shallow distress at the suffering of so many people

SOLIDARITY IS...

consulm — 2015-11-18 04:56:23 UTC

A firm and persevering COMMITMENT to oneself to uphold the COMMON GOOD

Public Good Game

consulm — 2015-11-18 04:55:37 UTC

$100 each - how will you divide yours (my money vs our money)

7 billion people living in the world

consulm — 2015-11-18 04:54:24 UTC

1% of the population controls 5% of the world's resources

**is this God's will?

DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:10:03 UTC

I'm thinking of eating less meat products and slowly transitioning into a vegetarian to help with climate change!

Sabrina Camara

2015-11-18 14:10:47 UTC

Ever since we were told to do our own part, i've been thinking about transitioning into becoming a vegetarian again. It might take a little longer than an immediate change, but change is still change.

Chelsea Siscar

2015-11-18 14:11:04 UTC

I didn't know that it takes 12 hours of labour for one chocolate bar

Jacob Mendoza-Cuadra

2015-11-18 14:11:14 UTC

This is so shocking that kids didn't even know what coco beans are but they pick them every day.

Ashia Shaw

2015-11-18 14:11:22 UTC

I can't believe no enviromentalist organizations talk about the meat industry.

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:11:22 UTC

I would like to become a vegan, to help save the planet.

Toni Pavic

2015-11-18 14:11:24 UTC

I find it so disheartening that eating a single chocolate bar consumes 12 hours of labour. That's not something we think about and I am so grateful to know about it now.

Shania

2015-11-18 14:11:38 UTC

Going to talk to my parents about Fair Trade so that we can purchase fair trade products in the future

Chloe Rendek

2015-11-18 14:11:51 UTC

It is incredibly shocking to discover that 1% of the population controls 50% of the world's resources

Mitch Blais

2015-11-18 14:12:01 UTC

I feel like taking small steps to help the environment through buying fair trade foods, using fuel efficient methods of travel, or even going vegan can help make the world a better more environmental friendly place.

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:12:08 UTC

I never really thought about who picked the banana I am eating, and what they get out of it. I will now consider eating fair trade bananas.

Vanessa Infanti

2015-11-18 14:12:14 UTC

I found that it was good to see that if we all put our money together rather then just to ourselves we are able to save the world

Chelsea Siscar

2015-11-18 14:12:19 UTC

I've decided to make more of an effort to find free trade food items

Sabrina Camara

2015-11-18 14:12:25 UTC

When he told us to ask ourselves who pciked this banana, I was really shocked that I had never thought about it before, and sort of took simple things for granted and my own enjoyment (such as tropical fruits being grown in third world countries)

Shania Nigli

2015-11-18 14:12:29 UTC

Cannot believe how hard Ethiopians work compared to Canadians. And how much less they earn.

Alex Kucan

2015-11-18 14:13:00 UTC

starting now i would like to monitor my water consumption.

Ashia Shaw

2015-11-18 14:13:07 UTC

It's depressing that we care more about having meat then about those starving in other countries.

Chelsea Siscar

2015-11-18 14:13:25 UTC

Although we don't see it, we are causing problems for the people in countries with a higher poverty rate rather than ourselves suffering from our own consequences.

Lauren Rollit

2015-11-18 14:13:26 UTC

The labour conditions in the chocolate industry are absolutely shocking

Shania Nigli

2015-11-18 14:13:28 UTC

Although being a vegan is better for the environment, I don't think I have the will power.

Sabrina Camara

2015-11-18 14:13:34 UTC

It's crazy to think that one chocolate bar consumes 12 hours of labor. It really proves just how much we take for granted, for things that are little, that take up the time of so many other people.

Timothy

2015-11-18 14:13:51 UTC

So so sad about the chocolate

Chloe Rendek

2015-11-18 14:13:54 UTC

If we all do our part, together we can change the world.

Toni Pavic

2015-11-18 14:13:54 UTC

I am transitioning into vegetarianism and would absolutely love to be vegan someday!

Vanessa Infanti

2015-11-18 14:14:06 UTC

I was shocked to find out that people who work in the cocoa industry don't even know what its used for

Shania Nigli

2015-11-18 14:14:09 UTC

Really like the idea of mailing the postcards to Ottawa. Feels like we are taking a stand.

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:14:14 UTC

When he showed the picture of the young Syrian refugee, I was so touched!

Timothy

2015-11-18 14:14:16 UTC

The pic of the Syrian girl hit me in the feels

Jacob Mendoza-Cuadra

2015-11-18 14:14:17 UTC

After watching this documentary I will stop eating meat when I go out because I don't know where the meat comes from.

Andrew Makuch

2015-11-18 14:14:25 UTC

it is very eye opening that animal agraculture, has such a big impact on the world

Sabrina Camara

2015-11-18 14:14:37 UTC

Its scary to think that the pollution that the first world countries are giving off are already effecting third world countries, such as Ethiopia. Its really sad to think that we are destroying other peopels way of living and how they support themselves, considering that their main work is farming and they are facing a huge drought.

Timothy

2015-11-18 14:14:41 UTC

Lets stop eating so much meat

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:14:47 UTC

We can make a change if everyone takes action.

Shania Nigli

2015-11-18 14:14:48 UTC

Didn't realize there was such thing as a vague feeling of compassion. Will do my best to work on it.

Toni Pavic

2015-11-18 14:14:55 UTC

Fair Trade Forever! I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for products with the fair trade label.

Timothy

2015-11-18 14:14:57 UTC

im going to buy fair trade food now

Lauren Rollit

2015-11-18 14:15:02 UTC

I'm going to make more of an effort to make sure the products I consume are fair trade

Vanessa Infanti

2015-11-18 14:15:02 UTC

The presentation made me think twice about eating meat

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:15:09 UTC

I hope everyone will realize how much of an impact agribusiness has on the environment!

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:15:09 UTC

Share our resources and don't be greedy because everyone deserves a healthy environment to live in.

Michaela Wright

2015-11-18 14:15:09 UTC

I am going to start buying fairtrade products

Ashia Shaw

2015-11-18 14:15:14 UTC

Better to pay more and know the workers have good conditions then paying less and not knowing whether or not you're supporting their poor work conditions.

Chloe Rendek

2015-11-18 14:15:18 UTC

Buying fair-trade is a great and powerful way to help.

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:15:39 UTC

I hope somehow the drought conditions in Ethiopia will improve to allow the farmers of the area to feel secure about their farming business.

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:15:44 UTC

I convinced Alex to become a vegan!

Vanessa Infanti

2015-11-18 14:15:45 UTC

The analogy of pulling babies out of the water really gave me a good perspective on what is going and how we can try to solve the problem

Timothy

2015-11-18 14:15:49 UTC

Lets go Green!!

Toni Pavic

2015-11-18 14:15:49 UTC

We cannot simply solve the temporary issues, we need to stop what is causing the problem as a whole.

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:16:02 UTC

I am going to buy fair trade food from now on.

Sabrina Camara

2015-11-18 14:16:04 UTC

With Justin Trudeau now in office, I hope that he will take the postcard seriously and attempt to make some changes in relation to climate change and the enviornment.

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:16:07 UTC

I'll definitely be more conscious of what I'm eating and where it came from.

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:16:15 UTC

I have already taken out gluten and dairy out of my diet, I am willing to eliminate meat as well!

Michaela Wright

2015-11-18 14:16:22 UTC

The young Syrian refugee picture was shocking.

YIyi Yang

2015-11-18 14:16:29 UTC

I thought vegan is a better lifestyle for everyone but its really depend on everyone's mind

Ashia Shaw

2015-11-18 14:16:33 UTC

If everyone ate less meat it would benefit a lot of people.

Lauren Rollit

2015-11-18 14:16:36 UTC

It is important to consider where our food is coming from, from what conditions. and how our food is transforming from a primary resource to something on our plate

Jacob Mendoza-Cuadra

2015-11-18 14:16:41 UTC

The XY games are proof that people in this world selfish and always want more when we can all just work together and share.

Chloe Rendek

2015-11-18 14:16:47 UTC

Eating less meat and moving closer to a vegan diet is one way to turn our thoughts into actions.

Andrew Makuch

2015-11-18 14:16:50 UTC

i will forever know that i will acow every time i go to Mcdonalds

Alex kucan

2015-11-18 14:17:10 UTC

its crazy to think it takes 12 hours of work to make a chocolatebar

The Government is going to have to put on their big boy slacks and limit meat consumption

2015-11-18 14:17:13 UTC

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:17:14 UTC

Shocking how much more CO2 the average American releases than the average \

Ethiopian

Vanessa Infanti

2015-11-18 14:17:32 UTC

Im going to try my best to eat less meat and do as much as I can to show solidarity

Michaela Wright

2015-11-18 14:17:44 UTC

I am going to start being more conscious of my meat produce intake

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:17:47 UTC

I'll definitely look for free trade products from now on!

Chloe Rendek

2015-11-18 14:17:57 UTC

The amount of labour required in the chocolate industry is definitely making me re-think my intake.

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:18:19 UTC

I feel inspired to make a difference

Toni Pavic

2015-11-18 14:18:22 UTC

Change cannot occur on it's own, we must work together and begin a worldwide movement.

Maddie Nelson

2015-11-18 14:18:26 UTC

The world's resources should be split more evenly between everyone!

Yiyi Yang

2015-11-18 14:18:38 UTC

I will talk to my parents and friends to buy fair trade

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:18:41 UTC

I think people need to consider others when they make deicisons. Everything we do, not only affects us, but others as well.

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:18:44 UTC

Eat less meat!!

Lauren Rollit

2015-11-18 14:18:47 UTC

We need to do more as consumers to ensure that our food and products are produced in humane conditions and with the labour of workers who are paid sufficiently.

Michaela Wright

2015-11-18 14:18:49 UTC

I feel inspired and know that i should go beyond the vague feeling of compassion and actually try to make a change.

Lydia

2015-11-18 14:18:53 UTC

Crazy to think that livestock is the main cause of global warming etc..

Andrew Makuch

2015-11-18 14:19:05 UTC

we have to stop the meat industry from throwing babies in the river

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:19:08 UTC

I didnt know eating one chocolae bar took so much labour to produce it

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:19:12 UTC

I am going to encourage my family and friends to buy fair trade chocolate.

Jacob Mendoza-Cuadra

2015-11-18 14:19:22 UTC

If 1% of the world controls 50% of the worlds resources then we could end hunger with one blow. We as North America consume enough food and water to share with 1/5 of the world. Everyone in the world deserves to eat even those who have nothing.

Ashia Shaw

2015-11-18 14:19:27 UTC

If everyone takes a stand, we can make a difference.

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:19:54 UTC

Humans must begin to think locally ac globally

Lauren Rollit

2015-11-18 14:20:04 UTC

It's sad that we are often unaware and unconcerned with the conditions that other people in our world deal with in order to produce items that we consume unthinkingly

Michaela Wright

2015-11-18 14:20:09 UTC

I found it shocking that the meat industry had such a large impact on climate change.

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:20:17 UTC

Whenever I go out to eat with my family or friends, I will not eat meat, because I know it is not fair trade.

Andrew Makuch

2015-11-18 14:20:18 UTC

im am sad :(

A clean energy solution is dire

2015-11-18 14:20:31 UTC

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:20:41 UTC

I was kicked off the chair.

Chelsea Siscar

2015-11-18 14:20:48 UTC

I've started cut down on my meat intake.

Andrew Makuch

2015-11-18 14:21:00 UTC

if we go vegen now we can save the world

Yiyi Yang

2015-11-18 14:21:07 UTC

Don't think it can be the truth soon , but we need to become solidarity

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:21:57 UTC

We have a bigger problem than I thought, we must try and work together as one to fix it

Yiyi Yang

2015-11-18 14:22:30 UTC

We all have the responsability to protect the environment, so we need to change

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:22:45 UTC

I never really thought about how long it takes to make a chocolate bar, I found it very shocking that it takes 12 hours.

Malik Metivier

2015-11-18 14:22:59 UTC

I will try to eat fair trade from now on

Mitch Blais

2015-11-18 14:23:27 UTC

I personally feel like going vegan or eating fair trade would be too expensive and difficult to maintain for most people but it is a step in the right direction.

Yiyi Yang

2015-11-18 14:24:00 UTC

I am a kind of a vegan but I don't think I have ability to change others mind, if they don't want to.

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:25:18 UTC

I was kicked off the char because someone else controlled it. I wish there was some way we can spread and share power equally.

Mitch Blais

2015-11-18 14:25:50 UTC

I had no idea that a chocolate bar took 12 hours of slave labor to make and we cosume that in no more than 2 minutes.

Enrique Trinidad

2015-11-18 14:26:25 UTC

It inspired me to make a change and enlightened me to how though small, my actions still make a difference

Karina Bonnick

2015-11-18 14:26:57 UTC

One person can make a change, but if we work together we can make a bigger and more effective change.

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:27:07 UTC

Chocoholics need to reconsider where their beans are coming from. I buy fair trade cocoa and I think it's a great way to somehow help the situation.

Enrique Trinidad

2015-11-18 14:27:18 UTC

It makes me sad when I think about how much people take in exess when so many people lack the basic nessesities.

Paulina Bruhn

2015-11-18 14:29:06 UTC

The amount of resources Americans use is unthinkable. We use more than enough for one person. Over consumption is a big problem and I think putting limits on what we use would be a big help.

In order to create change instead of raising awareness about climate change world leaders must make it mandatory to alter people's diet

2015-11-18 14:30:24 UTC

Enrique Trinidad

2015-11-18 14:32:04 UTC

Change starts with us and will spread because its for the well being of others.

Enrique Trinidad

2015-11-18 14:32:46 UTC

I was surprised by how much work is done to make things we take for granted.

Enrique Trinidad

2015-11-18 14:33:42 UTC

I'm thinking about going Vegan

I am limiting the amount of meat and diary products I consume

2015-11-18 14:39:27 UTC

Jacob Mendoza-Cuadra

2015-11-18 14:51:56 UTC

To some people this is a business but to others this is our world and others shouldn't destroy it

Aidan Harju

2015-11-19 15:25:14 UTC

I'll try to buy more fair trade products

Aidan Harju

2015-11-19 15:26:55 UTC

It's pretty shocking to here about the Ivory Coast workers, feels bad man.

Aidan Harju

2015-11-19 15:28:09 UTC

I'll try to take shorter showers from now on!

Aidan Harju

2015-11-19 15:29:09 UTC

I'll try to eat less meat and dairy.

Aidan Harju

2015-11-19 15:31:16 UTC

I'll think about who grew the food I'm eating

Tim Vince

2015-11-19 18:23:55 UTC

What if god was one of us
