REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Try a New Way to PrepCanning and pickling food is a great way to have delicious summer fruits and vegetables all year round. Just make sure to follow the canning and pickling guidelines from the USDA. What are some foods that you would like to preserve and enjoy later in the year?

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use a Reusable MugMaybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reuseable one but it's just hard to make the switch. Think about what stands in your way of making this a habit. By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?
Shan Lee 10/16/2018 7:47 AMI think the hardest part is we are constantly on the move. While traveling on the car, it is hard to remember to bring a reuseable cup. I started to keep an insulated mug in my car at all time and try to make a habit to refill it before I leave the house.-
Nancy Nguyen Watiker 10/18/2018 10:16 AMI carry an insulated vacuum sealed water bottle with me at all times!
