    We are fortunate to work on a campus that supports refillable water bottle stations.  On a larger scale, I'm grateful to live in a location where clean, safe water is available with very little effort or cost straight from the tap.  
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    I'd rather spend this money on higher-quality, organic, locally-sourced food.  I definitely don't like the idea of overspending on lower-quality food items only to throw it away later.  Meal planning helps me save on waste each week, but I keep 2-3 dinners "open" so that I can take advantage of sales and available fresh produce that looks exciting each week.
