REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

What do you think contributes to people in North America eating more meat than in other places, and what does this say about North American values and ways of living? How do we start shifting a meat-focused food culture?

Phyl Divine 10/02/2018 8:23 AM
In addition to setting my thermostat down 2 degrees, I will use the programmable feature to turn the temperature down during the day when no one is home and overnight while everyone is asleep.
