REFLECTION QUESTION
Climate + Air Consume only Needs vs Wants

Consuming only what we need vs. what we want can be really hard to do. What has been challenging about committing to this action for a month? What have you learned about yourself? Will you change any habits going forward?

Buy only that day what I can fix that same day. And not buying snacks when hungry in grocery store is hard but been trying to stay away from processed foods.

  There's a balance to buying only what you plan to use, and wasting fuel by making repeated trips if you wouldn't be traveling otherwise (I work from home and don't do a lot of driving, so that balance point may be different for you than it is for me). I tend to buy what we will use for one week, and only make one trip if I can manage. This saves us a couple gallons of gas compared to going out to the store every day. Agreed on not getting processed foods (and on trying to not shop hungry!).
