Respond to one of the questions below in a single post by the end of the day on Thursday. This is a "post first" forum. In order to see other responses to these questions, you must first post your response. Once you have made your initial response, please respond to a post of one of your fellow classmates by 11 pm on Sunday, Feb 14th. I'll chime in from time to time.
In your follow-up response, it is not necessary for you to comment on all the points raised by your classmate. However, to receive full credit, you need to state something more than simply "I agree with you..."
Do you think about sustainable practices in the purchases you make? If so, why? If not, why not?
