I always make it a habit to looking to my purchase list twice a week. Before buying any product i would always like to think about its pros and cons of usage.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Forest-Friendly FoodsHow did you figure out ways to remove foods that are not forest-friendly?
Nivetha P 10/21/2022 10:27 AMTrees help regulate the climate, filter water through their root system, capture dust particles and pollutants from the air and stabilize soils against erosion. They perform these vital services equally for everyone without taking into account country boundaries or the size of your income. -

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?
Nivetha P 10/21/2022 10:21 AMWhen it comes to food waste, nobody is perfect. But in order to consider our environmental impact, not to mention wasted money, we think it’s essential to be thoughtful about everything we purchase — whether that’s food, mattresses or other goods. I would rather use this money by investing in trade or business or in Real estate.

Nivetha P 10/21/2022 10:17 AMSharing economy makes everyday life more affordable. Participation on the supply side of sharing economy keeps prices fair, as well as eliminating the need for people to own all of their possessions.
