    Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Women and Girls
    Globally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?

    Women are traditionally care givers. Men can be as well, we just need to educate more to these types of causes.

    for every kilowatt used there is a replacement method - that is my vision - I love the MSU campus reusing from campus to put back the consumed energy

    we need to look for every opportunity for these types of projects
