    I also want to send a shout out to Hungry Harvest (local UMD graduate is founder) who rescues non-perfect produce and drops a lovely box of the same on my doorstep every other Sunday!  Thanks to them I'm eating healthier, discovering new meals and helping the planet by reducing food waste and at the same time, providing healthy FREE produce in underserved areas.  Check them out at: https://www.hungryharvest.net/

    I'm encouraged by individual states' actions to combat climate change even if the feds are lagging in action (or worse, working against it).  
    I am also minimizing (to the best of my ability) any one-use plastic items in my everday life.  The statistics for the amount of plastic polluting our oceans is truly staggering and disheartening.

    I had this morning a delicious fruit salad for breakfast from all the fruits I got last Thursday from our Farmers' Market.

    I am so happy that our Farmer's Market is back and last Thursday I got all my fruits and veggies from all the farmers around my town, Concord, CA.
  • 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 best benefit for me eating small portions is that I've noticed I am more energetic during the day.

    In honoring Earth Day today, April 22nd, we took our mother to Muir Woods National Monument this past weekend where you can see the towering old-growth redwood trees and stayed away from all electronic devices the whole day.  We had the best time ever and the weather was just perfect :)

    Food Reduce Animal Products
    In your opinion, what contributes to people in North America eating more meat than any other countries? What does this say about North American values and ways of living?
