REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Plant a GardenBesides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?
Jennifer Golden 7/02/2022 5:56 PMI received plants over the last week from a coworker, my sister, and my mother. Planted corn, Swiss chard, cilantro, squash, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli, and parsley from their gardens. Wow! Cannot wait to see what I will harvest from their extras. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Estimate My Plastic ConsumptionWhat did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?
Jennifer Golden 7/01/2022 6:20 AMI scored 0 kg on takeout, snacks, and beverages. Health & wellness, and shopping were very low. When I do make a purchase it is through Amazon which maxed out the home & living category. I also scored high on groceries & cooking. I know where I need to put in the work!
