    Building community is good for your soul and fun to do! What were some of the positive outcomes that came out of your group garage sale?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    While water bottles serve an important role in places for health and safety, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. Can you identify the barriers in making this a new habit? How can you set yourself up for success in making this a permanent change?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    Maybe 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?

    The challenge is "Change". We need to change ourselves and our habit which we have been used for very long time
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    we usually prepare food based on number of family members and taking into account their eating hapbit which reduces food waste. In case there is left over, we use it the next day but nothing is thrown in the trash
