    There 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 QUESTION
    Nourishing 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 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.
