    Having so much time in the house just now, I am looking around at all the stuff we have. Most of it we no longer need - clothes that are too small for the kids, toys they no longer play with etc. Hate the idea of them going into landfill, and a lot of donation places are currently closed. 
    I have been selling some items on a Mom's Facebook group ($ goes to the kid whose item is was); other items I have left out on the sidewalk with a "free" sign (kids mini trampoline, Xmas tree stand, Batcave toy, Ee-zz up frame) and these have all been taken - yay!

    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    Eating meat has lead to the rise of factory farms, which can provide more meat for cheap.  Unfortunately, this has many many negative effects; not only on animal welfare (something very near and dear to my heart) but also environmentally.  I personally am trying to eat more plant based.

    I think being outside sparks wonder and curiosity, leading one to want to know more about their environment and where they fit in it.

    Oceans act as a sink for carbon dioxide and help control my local climate. I try to take care of ocean health by following the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch and educating others about the ocean.

    What environmentally friendly habit have you most recently implemented? How do you ensure that you are successful in creating or changing a habit?

    My most recent environmentally friendly habit has been trying to use up all of the food in my pantry so it's not going to waste.  I ensure that I'm successful by creating a meal plan and really being cognizant of what I have in my fridge/cabinet, and have started making a list of things to use up.  These are habits that I am going to continue to do even once the shelter-in-place orders are over.

    When people have money they tend to related to the seven cardinal sins. Gluten is one of them. We overtax our bodies to consume highly rich foods that are more delicacy. Meat happens to be one of those delicacies because it is readily available and cost-effective to produce than in 3rd world countries.

     Raising cows, pigs and chickens — generates as much greenhouse gas emissions as all cars, trucks and automobiles combined.
