    I notice more things when I walk rather than drive.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Community Engage In Active Listening
    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?

    It was very beneficial to actively listen to someone. The conversation made more sense to me and the other person. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    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?

    That does not surprise me because people are easily influenced by others to buy things they don't necessarily need. I would rather use that extra money to pay bills, save it, or invest it. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Adjust the Thermostat
    Your 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?

    - Unplug cords that I'm not using 
    - Only turn on lights when I absolutely need to

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Turn it off
    How is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
