Other benefits that come from eating/ serving smaller portions are eating healthy and not wasting as much food.  Another benefit is saving money since we are eating smaller portions. I also learned that when we go grocery shopping we tend to buy more food than we need. Just because shopping carts are big and we want to fill them up with food...

When I practice mindful eating I don't tend to rush and eat fast. I also notice what I have been eating more because I'm usually eating while I'm using my phone, computer, or watching something on TV. 

I was really impressed by the benefit of using LED bulbs. The next step I would take toward energy efficiency is to get all my family members to all switch to LED bulbs and infomr the benefit of doing so. I would also unplug unused chargers and install a low-flow showerhead to save water. 

By spending more time outdoors made me realize how grateful I am for nature. I also lean the important roles they are part of.  For instance, I learn how wetlands are very important and play a  big part in the ecosystem.

Before learning about the diffusion of the at the phrase I would throw a lot of things out because I thought they were no longer good. Now next time I am cleaning my...

My next step will be to use less electricity whenever I can. Since most days are still really nice I began doing my work in the backyard since there's more natural light. 

 I am really glad that i learned a lot about the truth about operation dates. I am also sad because I did not know the definitions of the date phrases which resulted in me throwing a lot of food away. I would clean my pantry and see that the date would past on some of my food and throw them away. I am really glad that I know the definitions of...

I feel like when I eating with others it is easier for me to be more mindful and not be on my phone but when I am eating alone thats when I'm more tempted to be on it or watching tv. I'm going to try to make it a habit to continue mindfulness. Its nice to be in the moment truly enjoying my meal. :)
