    I think that the challenge is going well so far. It is teaching me to be more aware of my actions and to set time aside daily to think about some important things.

    Turning off lights when they aren't needed and unplugging appliances that are not being used can save energy. Also, carpooling when possible is a great saver for all.

    Why do people in richer countries eat more meat than people in other places? How does eating more meat affect our planet and other people?

    People in richer countries eat more meat than people in poorer countries because there are more sources available that provide a variety of meat products. Eating more meat than needed can deplete our planet's sources and impact the world as we know it.
