If you are taking other classes I know you all will do fantastic :) I hope you keep the same positive energy and to continue trying to make our planet a cleaner place. I really do appreciate all of you. Stay safe and have a happy Holiday Season! ❤️ -
Ana Dutciuc 11/29/2020 5:08 PMHello team! I hope you have had a happy thanksgiving😌 I know I’ve been lacking on my challenges. I have been doing them but I have not been documenting it which is bad on my part. Today is the last day or the challenges but I don’t stop doing them! You guys got this and I have the upmost faith and trust in you guys to keep it up. Thank you for being awesome teammates and thank you for encouraging each other because we need that encouragement with everything going on. I appreciate all of you. Stay safe !-
Ilse Monarrez 11/30/2020 12:01 AMI think this is a common issue. Most of us got overwhelmed by the holidays and it became difficult to document the challenges on the day of completion. I think it's great that we could all do our challenges and get them documented with these crazy holidays. -
Alyssa Panduro 11/29/2020 10:21 PMSame here! I totally forgot to come on here and document my challenges. I am also going to continue to do these challenges because they have made me appreciate nature more. I find myself being more appreciative of the trees and air. Every morning I look up in the sky and check how the air quality is. Every time I look towards the LA area it looks horrible and I can see a ton of dirty fog. I want to be the person who reduces that problem. Good luck and thank you for your encouragement! -
Josiel Perez 11/29/2020 5:38 PMI have the same issue too! Sometimes I forget to document the things I have done. For example, I forgot to document the item I decided to reuse, which was a disposable plate, during one of the previous assignments. Nonetheless, your progress is still important!

REFLECTION QUESTIONNature Explore My AreaHow might spending more time outdoors enhance your brainpower?
Ana Dutciuc 11/11/2020 5:58 PMSpending more time outdoors enhances my brainpower because if I am walking or running, it helps the blood in my body flow.-
Johnna Richie 11/12/2020 2:43 PMAnd if you are outside in the sunshine it helps with vitamin absorbing!

Ana Dutciuc 11/09/2020 11:39 PMIt’s hard to put our phones down. I’ve been going for a walk with my boyfriend and keeping our phone on hand but out of sight just until our walk was over and I feel like it’s been easier and I am able to go without my phone for a while!-
