Reflection Question
Land Use Plant Trees

How is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?

Shay David 4/23/2019 3:35 AM

Planting trees can encourage more insect life, acting as larval host or providing nectar. This insect population can in turn feed more birds and small animals. Trees can provide food for us as well.

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?

Shay David 4/23/2019 3:23 AM

Spending less money on food and losing weight!
