You can see all that is going on on the ground like the fallen leaves and worms that come out after it rains when you're walking.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaste Use Reusable BagsWhat do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?
Emily Gracie 3/30/2020 9:01 AMWe like to keep several reusable bags in the car so when we are shopping we always have one with us. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergy Adjust the ThermostatYour utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?
Emily Gracie 3/30/2020 9:00 AMI like to turn off my lights and utilize natural light from the sun to light up my room because it is more energy efficient and the artificial light is not as pretty as natural light. -
