  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth
    Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

    I do Agree with Kathleen Dean Moore's Thought/Opinion on how Gratitude can Lead to a Sense of Moral Obligations ( Obedience, Loyalty, Duty-Purpose). 
    We can Cultivate a Sense of Gratitude as Individuals and a Society by Respecting others, being Truthful/Honest, creating Goals, and Striving to Accomplish those specific Goals.
    Being open to other people and Supporting one another.

    Health Eliminate Toxic Plastics
    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    plastic bags.  Although I don't intentionally choose the bags, most of the time there the only thing provided or I forgot my reusable bags.

    I got to work on remembering my reusable bags and say no to plastic. 

    I have been able to encourage/inspire my family to use reusable bags instead of plastic ones.

    My eco Challenges are going pretty well. I watched the sunrise and sunset today! It was beautiful! I went down to the lake early this morning to watch the sunrise. Waking up early to experience this was totally worth it! Although it was really cold!

    Take a 15-minute nap. Or Read about Nature!

    Going outside for 20 minutes can Ease one's Thoughts.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    Hannah Kulla's avatar
    Hannah Kulla 2/06/2022 7:27 AM
    Yes, that is true. Nature heals the soul and it is really good for our health to go outside every day. A culture that spends most of its time indoors is not a healthy culture. Going outside and spending time enjoying nature decreases anxiety.
