REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Leyla Londo 11/18/2021 2:06 PMUsing creative thinking allows you to come up with cheaper, greener ways of using electricity or reusing recycled items. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Buy From a Farmers MarketWhat is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?
Leyla Londo 11/18/2021 2:05 PMEvery Saturday I buy fruits and vegetable from a farmers market instead of a grocery store because they are cheaper and support local farmers.-
Katy Morin 11/26/2021 4:28 PMOh 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 QUESTIONNature Spend Time OutsideRachel 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?
Leyla Londo 11/08/2021 5:33 PMI 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
