Learning how to compost was really awesome, but I don't have any way to actually use compost, i just rent a room in an apartment and I dont have a yard or plants. But overall, at least there's a good use for food waste.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Nature Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset

Father Thomas Berry says, "... our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." What is your response to Berry's assertion?

Kassandra Guzman 4/12/2021 12:21 PM
