I am trying my best not to purchase things that are individually wrapped, but overall this is challenging considering that everything is wrapped in plastic just do your best to recycle every chance you get such as aluminum, plastic and so much more because it's out there!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Tend A Garden

Have you ever had a significant experience in nature that altered your perspective or focus? If so, please describe it.

Spending time outside in nature, such as in gardens, can reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and promote relaxation. This can lead to a clearer mind and a more focused outlook on life.
