Food waste is something I think about every day. It takes a lot of planning and work to make sure we only buy what we need, and eat what we buy. But we work on it every day!! 

Install digital thermostat to program temperature control for time of day.

I refuse to buy bottled water - I drink tap water and use a filter at home. I make my own sparkling water at home - I won't even by bottled/canned sparkling water. 

Food packaging and the carbon footprint of transporting food from field to processing plant to distribution center and to the retail food chain in addition to all the plastic packaging waste for 'convenience foods'.  Focusing on purchasing from local farmers  markets and minimize pre-processed foods.

I'm going to get a hybrid car and do more to drive less. Traveling is my biggest contribution and I can do more to lessen my footprint.

I learned about bees and how critical they are to the environment and growing food. I also learned that the average bee will make only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. We need a lot of bees if we want to continue to have honey! Honey is not just for eating - it has antiseptic properties and was historically used as a dressing for wounds and a first aid treatment for burns and cuts. I love watching bees as they go flower to flower and there are a lot of wildflowers in my yard right now :-)

I'm concerned about all the plastic we use - everything is wrapped in plastic and there are little plastic disposable bits everywhere. It concerns me because of fish and animals eating it thinking its food and then starving to death. It's also getting into our bodies and who knows what the impact is. I'm trying to limit my purchases and avoid plastic as much as I can.
