I started to do meal plans so there would not be as much food waste in this house. Over 200 pounds of food goes to waste each year and that number needs too drop.

People who drive diesel or heavily required gas filled cars pollute areas in the cities. They affect it by harming species that thrive off of the ecosystem. Bees and other reliable species are dying and it seems to be due to the pollution in the air.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

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?
