Watch the film Creatures of Convenience on CBC Gem
Check out the film Creatures of Convenience on CBC Gem for FREE! This is a local film about the the impact our culture of convenience has on the environment. If you liked the film, consider attending our Earth Day event on Thursday, April 22: "In Conversation: Creatures of Convenience," a Q&A session with the film's producer and filmmaker, moderated by KPU instructor Dr. Paul Richard! To complete this action, you only have to watch the film - but we'd love to see you at the event as well! :)

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Limit Social MediaSocial 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?
Camille Clores 3/30/2021 8:18 PMAfter disconnecting from social media, I feel more connected to the real world. I pay more attention to what is happening around me. I feel more patient and not in a hurry to eat, shower, or do other things.-
Erin Pedersen 3/31/2021 11:52 AMIt's so tough, hey? It's hard to imagine what the world would be like without social media right now!

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth More Fruits and VeggiesHow does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?
Camille Clores 3/30/2021 8:13 PMEating more vegetables and less meat affects my physical and mental health. Whenever I eat better, I also feel better. Not only eating vegetables are nutritious to your body, but it also means you are not supporting animal cruelty. The best part is it is cheaper to buy more vegetables than meat so you save more money.-
Erin Pedersen 3/31/2021 11:52 AMFor sure! Do you have a favourite veggie dish?

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Volunteer in my CommunityWhat is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?
Camille Clores 3/30/2021 8:07 PMI should support local businesses. I should buy more from local stores such as vegetables and fruits rather than big grocery stores. I am more likely supporting local neighbour families.-
Erin Pedersen 3/31/2021 11:51 AMThat's a great idea. Right now since restaurants are shut down for covid, it might be a good idea to order takeout from your local restaurant - pick it up to avoid the delivery apps!

REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Track my PurchasesWhat have you noticed about your purchases? Where are you inclined to make shifts, if any?
Camille Clores 3/21/2021 8:59 AMLast year, I decided to lessen my purchases on clothes for a wardrobe capsule which I was able to do. But this past month, I have been buying more clothes than I intended. I guess it is a withdrawal. The good thing tho is I have become pickier about what I buy. I don't buy fast fashion clothes anymore. I buy clothes that are maybe more expensive but are of good quality. They are classic pieces such as a plain t-shirt and jeans. I also buy clothes in more neutral colours so they are easier to match and good for my Instagram, too.-
Erin Pedersen 3/22/2021 10:10 AMThat's awesome! I can work in my PJs every day now so I also haven't bought any clothes since before covid 😂

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Go for a Daily WalkHow do you experience your neighborhood or city differently when walking instead of driving?
Camille Clores 3/08/2021 5:50 PMI enjoy walking most of the time. Since I walk alot in the neighbourhood, I become more familiar with people's faces. Not only I see the same people who exercise, but I also see their pets and/or their kids. It feels more like a community.-
Erin Pedersen 3/09/2021 8:39 AMWhat a great benefit! Feeling connected to community is so important.

REFLECTION QUESTIONHealth Exercise DailyHow can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?
Camille Clores 3/04/2021 12:39 PMMy friend and I enjoy doing exercise challenges together online and posting updates for support on our social media accounts.-
Erin Pedersen 3/08/2021 11:28 AMThis is so smart! Do you have any exercise resources to share for your fellow students? There are so many fitness Instagrams/Youtubes it can be hard to figure out what to do!
