I’ve noticed that most of the food I throw away tends to be leftovers I forget about or fresh produce that spoils before I get to it. These patterns often come from overbuying, poor meal planning, or simply not storing food properly. To address this, I’ve started making weekly meal plans, shopping with a list, and being more mindful of expiration dates. I also try to get creative with leftovers and freeze extra portions when I can. Small habits like these not only reduce waste but also save money and help the environment.

Connecting with nature enhances my physical and mental well-being in many ways. Physically, walking or hiking outside improves my energy and sleep. Mentally, it reduces stress and anxiety, giving me a clearer mind and a greater sense of calm. Nature reminds me to live in the moment and appreciate simplicity, which helps me feel more balanced and resilient in everyday life.
