I am having guests stay at my house and encouraging them to check all of the items they use to recycle. The kids are enjoying the game and counting all of the items they recycle. They are seeing how much waste they accumulate. It is making an impression on them!

I saved my plastic box that held my salad for lunc. I washed it, and I am taking it home to put in my recycling bin instead of throwing it in the trash. I'm amazed how many we use and throw away after lunch... I am making new plans to avoid this habit! :)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Reduce Animal Products

Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

Catherine Valiquette 10/09/2019 6:36 AM

Meat is more expensive. The cost of raising animals and the impact on the environment takes a toll on our planet with waste, energy overuse and more.

Now there are plenty of options to live a meatless diet. There are protein-packed plant based meats. My family cooks with Gardein. We made meatless chili, burgers, salads and more. Remember to check the nutritional info to ensure you are are getting the recommended protein!
