    Besides saving fuel and reduce emissions, by walking or biking we have the opportunity to meet neighbors that we never see around...

    Changing the light bulbs even in the places not so used, such as basement and closet. 
  • 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?

    The distances are always shorter than we think, so it definitely worth walking instead of driving.
