Jim Langstraat 10/26/2022 4:55 AMI donate because I see people around me every day who have need and food anxiety. Grocery stores often have deals on things I commonly buy (like buy two get two more for free) so I often have more than I need. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption Personal Waste AuditWhy is it often difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places?
