REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Keep Track of Wasted Food

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

it is so hard to keep track of food that goes to waste and even scraps! I have noticed a lot of my food ends up going to waste when I guesstimate rather than make a plan and stick to it when it comes to cooking meals for the week. I am motivated to be more rigorous about my weekly meal planning and only buying what I need from the grocery store.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Social Justice Fund Family Planning

When family planning focuses on healthcare provision and meeting the expressed needs of women, it results in empowerment, equality, and well-being, and the benefits to the planet are side effects. Why is family planning an important civil rights consideration?

"For the health and dignity of women and girls everywhere." I take a lot of my freedoms and choices for granted every day, especially when it comes to my reproductive health. I hope my small donation will give someone some or all of the freedoms that I have, because I believe every woman and girl should be free to decide what's best for their bodies.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Buildings and Cities Go for a Daily Walk

What have you noticed on your daily walks? What have you enjoyed? What infrastructure changes could make your walks more enjoyable or possible?

Jennifer Chorosevic 4/04/2019 6:01 PM

I enjoy walking to get my groceries by my office versus getting in my car and driving to the grocery store. It forces me to buy less at one time because I can only carry so much in my arms and backpack!
