REFLECTION QUESTION
Health Take Control

How do environmental health, community health, and your personal health intersect?

Janine Lopez 10/19/2018 10:28 AM

They are very related, if environmental health is poor it will affect us physically, if community health is poor, it will affect our mental health. We need to balance the 3 in order to be successful in our wellness goals.

Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset

Father Thomas Berry says, "...our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." Respond to Berry's assertion.

Janine Lopez 10/17/2018 11:32 AM

Love this quote, we are one with the Universe, with the planet and with mother nature. We should enjoy and celebrates this planet that we call home, the energy that comes with a new day and the calm after a lived day.

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?

Janine Lopez 10/17/2018 10:59 AM

No it doesn't surprise me at all as in the past I also threw out lot of food and know people that do it. I'm more conscious of what I buy now and money saved goes to savings account for my next vacations !
