What is your environmental passion?

Anna-mary Geist 4/29/2020 7:06 PM

My environmental passion is lowering mine and my family's carbon footprint by making small lifestyle changes.

Since the pandemic, my children and I are very into recycled art, games, and other things. We have made a ball game, a Barbie doll closet, a bouquet of flowers, pencil holders, flash card holders, vases, and more out of boxes, egg cartons, cans, and condiment bottles.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Earth Day Together! Earth Day Action: Research and Support Local Organizations

Why is it important to support local organizations and businesses? How does it help to build a more resilient community?

Anna-mary Geist 4/28/2020 5:18 PM

It is so important to support local organizations and businesses, Local businesses are the heart and soul of communities. The more of them that stay in business and thrive, the more the community stays together and thrives. They are often the ones that help and support individual community members when the need arises. We need them to come back when we are knocked down.

Food Learn the Truth About Expiration Dates

How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

Anna-mary Geist 4/28/2020 5:15 PM

It's so great to know the difference and what everything really means. I feel more educated to save some of my $1,500 each year, as well as buy smarter form the outset. :)

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Weekly Meal Planning

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. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

Anna-mary Geist 4/28/2020 3:41 PM

This doesn't surprise me, except when I think about how much my whole neighborhood of 21 houses could save a year! We could build a neighborhood in-ground pool if we saved this money. That would be fun!! :)
