REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn 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?
Kathy Vinyard 10/24/2018 7:31 AMI would love to use the money on remodeling my bathroom- oh that would be an amazing soaker tub! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodMichael Pollan states that "it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor." What are your thoughts on this?

REFLECTION QUESTIONNatureWhat does nature provide for you?
Douglas Young 10/22/2018 3:09 PMNature cleans my air, filters my water, restores my sense of connectedness to the important processes that support life on this earth. Watching birds and small animals forage and play delights the soul and reminds me of the need to protect as much as we can for the health of the vulnerable members of the planet, including us humans. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityWhat is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?
Douglas Young 10/16/2018 11:21 AMTalking with my neighbors regularly allows us to share extra food rather than letting it go to waste. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportationHow do your transportation choices affect your engagement in your community? Does your experience differ while walking, riding transit, biking or driving?
Douglas Young 10/16/2018 11:17 AMAs I ride through town on a bike, I notice more than from a car. I see and sometimes interact with people and other animals. I notice the weather, the air quality, the sky, the ground--really have to pay attention to the ground. I notice litter, including plastics that may soon wash into the river, and I wish I could pick them up, but I have to get somewhere... so I pick up only one and make sure it gets into a closed disposal... only one, but so much better than no action at all. I feel more active when I bike! -
Nova Moisa 10/14/2018 12:00 PMI ordered a bamboo and a stainless steel straw with the discount earned through the challenge. Also ordered a veggie scrubber brush. I hadn't thought to use a non-plastic version. The plastic versions never last very long. I'm very excited to try a couple new items that wouldn't have crossed my mind. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONWasteNew to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?
Jaclyn Nunnemaker 10/12/2018 1:47 PMOur Composting will go back into our garden in the spring, we'll continue to turn it over the winter as much as we are able. It's amazing how the volume breaks down and shrinks.
