Practicing appreciation/gratitude can help you feel happy and content instead of buying things that are unnecessary or wasteful. Appreciating what you have instead of buying it.

Victoria Velazquez 10/24/2018 10:28 AMOur culture is a majority meat based diet and we are well known for having fast food and always being on the go. Which connects to our health, and compared to every other country we have the highest carbon footprint. -
