REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Go for a Daily Walk

How do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?

Joanna Sokol 10/28/2020 11:02 AM

I definitely pay more attention to my surrounds. I get to hear the birds, I get to experience the silence. stopping to check out the last bit of color on bushes and trees.

Today, I walked throughout the ridges on my lunch break! Beautiful and peaceful.

I am lucky enough to be able to walk to my local market and pick up any necessities. Not only do I get to enjoy the nature, but also avoid any car emissions!!!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Join a Local CSA

Dependable fresh food, better prices (cutting out carbon-heavy supply chain and grocery stores), supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these benefits (or others not listed here) inspires you the most?

Joanna Sokol 10/16/2020 5:23 AM

Supporting my local farmers is what inspires me the most!!!

Not only am I supporting the farmers who grow these veggies, but also the workers who dedicate their days getting it to the people. I am referring to the local workers who buy the produce, bag it and

coordinate with the public. They are a key component and should not be forgotten in the awesome farm to farmer to worker to public to your dinner table process.
