I tend to spend a rather modest amount on food. This is likely because of my meal plan. I don't plan to shift the trajectory of my finances.

REFLECTION QUESTIONEnergyHow is electricity generated where you live? How does it impact the environment, animals, and humans?
Robert Nash ECO315 10/21/2025 12:13 PMPennsylvania's largest supply of electrcity comes from natural gas, which makes up roughly 60% of it's generation. This harms plant life directly by blocking sunlight, harming the air quality, and breaking up the O-Zone layer. This, in turn, harms animals a lot as plants are the starting point of the food cycle.
