REFLECTION QUESTIONWomen and Girls Connect With A NonprofitWhat are the most pressing issues for women and girls in your community?
Linnea Hengst 4/17/2019 10:06 AMI spent my time learning about "Women Giving Back", which is a non-profit started by female executives to aid women and children in crisis. Their programs provide clothing and resources to get women back on their feet and find stability through wrap-around services and coaching for gainful employment. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn the Truth About Expiration DatesHow does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?
Linnea Hengst 4/09/2019 3:32 PMI discovered that I was actually conflating "use by" and "best by" dates on my food. Having this knowledge will probably make me feel more comfortable with not immediately throwing out foods-- and thereby reducing food waste-- when the use by date on the packaging has passed.
