  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Eat Mindfully
    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

    It makes it much more enjoyable and much more fun to where you have a conversation with people instead of being distracted by technology. Also you enjoy the nature and stuff going on around you while your eating.

    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    I can reduce my electricity usage by turning off lights when leaving the room and unplug chargers when not using them.

    IT is powered through electric power lines. It impacts the environment greatly where it takes up space to put up power lines
