    You can see all that is going on on the ground like the fallen leaves and worms that come out after it rains when you're walking.

    Creativity is necessary because it can allow you to transform simple things into more complex things. You can fulfill your needs using things you would've never thought of using without creativity.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use Reusable Bags
    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

    We like to keep several reusable bags in the car so when we are shopping we always have one with us.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Energy Adjust the Thermostat
    Your utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

    I like to turn off my lights and utilize natural light from the sun to light up my room because it is more energy efficient and the artificial light is not as pretty as natural light. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    How does/can practicing gratitude keep you centered and motivated to work for a better world?

    Practicing gratitude makes me motivated to keep the things that make me happy in my life and to work harder to appreciate what I already have instead of focusing on what I don't. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health More Fruits and Veggies
    How does eating more fruits and vegetables and less meat positively affect yourself, other people, and our planet?

    Plant-based products such as fruits and veggies are much more sustainable and have a much smaller carbon footprint than meat products, so a primarily plant-based diet can positively impact the earth. It is also better for you and your health will improve with a plant-based diet, as long as you make sure you get enough nutrients that you need.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Health Healthy Sleep
    Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What are you finding works for you to be successful in this action?

    I would like to shift my sleep pattern to get more sleep. I feel that if I eat dinner earlier, I will get to bed earlier and be more well-rested the next day.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    How can you incorporate other personal values (like quality time with friends or spending time in nature) into your exercise routine?

    There are many ways to incorporate quality time with friends and spending time in nature into your exercise routine. For example, you could exercise in nature in a park, or exercise in a group of friends every day.

      If you consider me a friend, would you like to go on a walk after this quarantine thing is over?
