Reflection QuestionLand Use Plant TreesHow is planting trees good for your mental, physical, and spiritual health?
Shay David 4/23/2019 3:35 AMPlanting 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 QuestionFood Smaller PortionsFun 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?
