This time, I will blog about my role in the RE group. There are some tasks that we will carry out throughout the year like research on some topics, persuade canteen vendors, give talks, and design and distribute flyers.
One of my group mates, Kah Wah, and I will be doing research on “Environmental Issues”. So far, I had done the research on two issues: “how does meat consumption contribute to global warming?” and “how does meat consumption contribute to forest depletion?”. From the first issues, according to a 2006 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we know that the meat causes more greenhouse gases than the transportation and industry. The greenhouse gases like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide trap solar energy, thereby warming up the Earth’s surface. From the second solution, we know that land for grazing is needed for animals like cows and lambs. To provide land for the animals in a densely forested region, rainforests are cut.
Besides working on the research, Wei Herr and I will be designing and distributing the flyers to RI students. The flyers will contain information to tell the students about the disadvantages of consuming meat and the advantages of consuming vegetables. The flyers have not been designed yet as we haven’t thought of any ideas to design the flyers. Moreover, as stated in the proposal submitted last week, we will touch on this task earliest in May.
