    Mindful eating, much more difficult to commit to on a regular basis but can offer a peace of mind in a world that often feels like it has no brakes.

    Here is a rather brief and to the point image on the important differences between sell by, use by and best by dates.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Industry Research Cement Alternatives
    Concrete is a good example of a material that most of us encounter every day, but its carbon footprint may not be obvious. What other everyday materials might have a large carbon footprint? How can you find out more?

    Other materials that can have large carbon footprints include cloth due to fast fashion trends, glass, plastic and paper; you can always find out more through digging for information with various sources.

    Going better than expected, though sometimes I almost forget to log in over the weekends; thankfully it hasn't happened yet; here's to the end.

    So far it's rather tame, thankfully; at least now I understand the differences between the sell by, use by and best by dates.

    How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?

    In knowing the differences, I am able to ensure what I purchase will be used before it goes bad thereby spending less and making more use out of what's around.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Healing & Renewal Eat Mindfully
    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How does your eating experience differ when practicing mindfulness?

    Admittedly not that much, I do not eat for comfort but just because I need to; if I could, I would not eat at all.
