    Changes seem to be pretty easy.  Especially the weekly meal planning. I have done this numerous of times before and always forget how easy and less time consuming it is.

    People Pick Up the Phone
    What do all of us have in common, regardless of politics, race, religion, occupation, or place we live? How can finding common ground help us as a society and as a species?

    We all live on this earth together.  Find common ground can help us understanding in decisions we make day to day.

    My family and I had seen a difference in the way our food is saved and money is saved as well

      I agree, more money is being saved. The garbage is also less full!

  • 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?

    It is really surprising because all of the food all of us waste could be going to people who need it  . The money we waste could be going to people that need it as well.
