Aarshiya S. 7/12/2020 8:36 AMI created my own daily action called "light saver". This encourages people to save electricity and turn off lights, conditioning, and fans when not in use. Sometimes I forget to do this, and thats why I created this action to help remind me to turn off everything before I leave the room/house. -
Aarshiya S. 7/09/2020 9:15 AMI believe that after you eat a good vegan/vegetarian meal, you feel good about what you ate and stay active throughout the day.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Learn More about SilvopastureHad you heard of the term "silvopasture" before now? After learning more about it, what do you think is the biggest advantage of silvopasture?
Aarshiya S. 7/06/2020 6:49 PMI have never heard of silvopasture until now, and I saw that its biggest advantage is that it provides cool shade for livestock to thrive, increases weather and wind protection, and an improved nutrition uptake.
