  • 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?

    This fact surprises me because my dad normally makes my family eat all of our food so that we don’t waste anything when it goes bad. If I had a choice, I would rather spend it on nessesary thing like clothes.

    To my sleep, I would like to add more hours of sleep because I’m really drowsy in the morning. Then I can’t focus throughout the day. So when I tried this I found that drinking milk before going to bed helps really well, and well as opening windows.

    What environmental factors affect human health in your region, and how do they affect it?

    In my environment we have lots of trees and wildlife. They affect us because we can get lots of fresh air, and we can learn more about forest wildlife compared to let’s say, the city. We affect the environment because, many people enjoy to to take care of the environment and it’s inhabitants. So trees and animals are plenty.

    How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

    Practicing gratitude helps you feel motivated for doing better work. For example, let’s say you complimented your mom, friend, or sibling, then they get the encouragement for the day. That pushes you to do your best for them and yourself in some way.
