I use protein shakes, bars and snacks as single-use items, but instead, if I make the protein shakes and snacks at home instead of buying them I can help minimize my plastic use.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseWhile 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?
Jazmine Castaneda 10/04/2025 8:52 PMBy serving smaller portions I can be more aware of how much food I actually eat and see if I am hungry later. -
Jazmine Castaneda 10/04/2025 8:50 PMI have noticed since I started the eco challenge, I am much more aware of actions that I take daily. For example I thought I didn't use too many one use plastics, but now I realize I use them in my protein shakes, bars etc. So now I am trying my best to find alternatives to limit my plastic use. -
