    There are many bodies of water around Idaho. Most I am not familiar with, but Bear Lake.

    There is a place to recycle things like paper if you don't have the curbside bin. You can also recycle bottles which is harder than I expected to find.

    They are located in town. There is not one type of area it is located in.

    How is it that we have global food systems, yet 30% of Americans are classified as food insecure? Mississippi has the highest rate of food insecurity and the highest rate of obesity. Our lack of healthy/nutritious food is a direct link to the obesity problems we have in the US.

    It is the farmers who are affected the most. The produce is affected and due to change in the seasonal rains, they are affected throughout!
