REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption Know My Waste & Recycling ServicesWhat did you find surprising or hopeful in your research?
Meshae Robinson 10/26/2022 2:59 PMThere are more companies with recycling programs than I have seen in quite a while. I can't wait to get started with them since I've been using their products anyway! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Weekly Meal PlanningAn 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?
Meshae Robinson 10/17/2022 7:34 AMThis fact or estimation does not surprise me because those close to me are consistently surprised at my unwillingness to discard food when I am confident that it can be cooked or used somewhere else. I would rather use those funds for my next vacation or stay-cation.
