    Last week while at the grocery store I forgot my reusable grocery bags in my trunk so I asked the store not to bag the items and I bagged everything once I got to my car.  Additionally I have also been walking more often to the grocery store instead of driving!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food
    Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

    I typically wrap my vegetables and herbs in plastic at the store.  This would help me avoid that.

    The impact from reduced transportation of the food to the store is also a benefit.
