  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Using creative thinking allows you to come up with cheaper, greener ways of using electricity or reusing recycled items.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

    Every Saturday I buy fruits and vegetable from a farmers market instead of a grocery store because they are cheaper and support local farmers.

      Oh wow I didn't realize they were cheaper. That's awesome! I definitely need to make more of an effort to go to those then.
  • 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?

    I believe I am in a better headspace when I spend time outside. If I am inside all day I feel like I'm going crazy
