    Wave and tidal energy is becoming potential commercial energy sources. They use Special buoys, turbines, and other technologies to get the power from the ocean. Yes I was surprised because this could help our environment so much.

    Now that I know the difference between them I know that I can still use the producing after the date so I won't be wasting food.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Smaller Portions
    Fun fact: Your brain and stomach register feelings of fullness after about 20 minutes of eating. While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come out of eating smaller portions?

    You’ll have better portions so you don’t over eat.
