    Food
    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?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste
    Our ability to recycle certain things ebbs and flows based upon many factors. Luckily there are places that accept uncommon things to recycle or dispose of in a less harmful way. What did you find when looking for places to recycle items that can't be recycled in your curbside bin?

    You can recycle old office supplies.

    The easiest way to recycle pens is to send them to TerraCycle’s Writing Instrument Brigade.
