    There are huge implications of access to nutritious food, one of the biggest and most obvious being health. Nutritious food is especially important for children, who are our future. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Community Support Native Communities
    Indigenous speaker and activist Winona LaDuke says that, "most indigenous ceremonies, if you look to their essence, are about the restoration of balance — they are a reaffirmation of our relationship to creation. That is our intent: to restore, and then to retain balance and honor our part in creation." Why is balance important to sustainability?

    Balance and sustainability are almost synonyms. When humans talk about sustainability, we try to think of ways to reduce our impact. We've done too much, now we have to scale back. It's a constant balancing act.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
    Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

    I guess it's hard to see right now why we should be celebrating, given recent news about the state of the planet.

    Put it into savings, buy a nice birthday present for my mom, give it away, etc. I'm trying to acquire less so whatever I do, I won't spend it on myself. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Limit Social Media
    Social media can keep us connected with loved ones, make us laugh, and help us to learn new things. It can also create echo chambers and take more time than we realize or intend to give. After completing this action for a few days, how do you feel? What do you notice?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Simplicity Go For A Daily Walk Outside
    Fresh air and movement are good for our entire being and can help us think more clearly and creatively. How does taking a walk each day affect yourself and/or your work?
