      this looks cool !  I'm assuming that each little brown hexagon has on it a "to-do" thing. Is that correct?

    Moving to a veggie local lifestyle feels healthy and helpful. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

    It isn’t even a financial incentive to not waste food. It’s a moral it’s.
