Food, Agriculture, and Land UseEat Mindfully
Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?
You're more cautious of what you are eating and your surroundings while practicing mindfulness as apposed to being absorbed into the world on tv or the phone.
While dishing food out, we tend to load our plates with more than we need. Using smaller plates helps to mitigate this. Aside from the environmental benefits, what other benefits might come from eating/serving smaller portions?

I am so happy to be a part of this challenge, which really wasn't a challenge but...so important and inspirational to me! It made me realize my part in wasting our Earth's resources and what I can do to contribute to saving and helping our Earth! Very enlightening!!!

Action Track: Accelerating SolutionsSupport Businesses Owned by Women, BIPOC, or Immigrants
Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. What have you done in the past to support women-owned businesses? How can you better support communities by supporting women?
There are several smaller women owned businesses in my area. I particularly like to buy the products, share them on social media and tag the business page. I think people are more likely to try something that someone they know has used and liked. The local cake lady is not a hardship to support:)
