Sustainability Visit

Interview:





Questions:
1. What struck you about the location you visited? Was it what you expected, or very different?

The thing that struck me about the location I visited was that it was located at Otay Mall. Also that they've been having these farmer's markets there every Tuesday for 3 years, and I've been shopping at Otay mall for about that long. It was kind of what I expected, like, I expected it to be outdoors and people to be just selling their fruits. Though, I did not expect there to be non-food items, like jewelry and such.

2. Which items were cheaper than you expected? Which were more expensive?

I'm not sure, I haven't seen the prices compared to the grocery store's prices.

3. Do you think you will start going to a farmers market more often? Or using a community garden? Or supporting a CSA?

I don't think I will start going to a farmer's market that often, but I probably will keep it in mind more than usual.

4. How do these locations fit into our essential questions of “Why Don’t People Live More Sustainably?” and “How Can I Convince them to do So?”

These locations fit in to the questions because they relate to sustainable living. Living sustainably can include organic, home-grown fruits and vegetables.
