  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four in the US spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    This doesn't surprise me, but does make me sad. I do feel that I have gotten better about not wasting food this year as I have been home a lot more. I'd much rather spend that money on updating my home, which I have been able to do this year as well :)

      That's great, Lynn!  Sneak peek to next week's LiveGreen article: our campus is a drop site for compost club, making it easy for people to compost.  Preventing food waste is best, but for everything else there's compost :)

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    I actually work out with my Husband, BIL, and a friend :) It's a good way to socialize and feel good. We also work out in the park so it's nice getting outside and enjoying the fresh air.
