    Practicing mindful acquisition of objects—consciously thinking about whether I really need it or if it's a transient "want"
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

    Mindful eating is healthier for us than eating with distractions. How do your eating experiences differ when practicing mindfulness?

    I tend to eat smaller portions and also eat more slowly, enjoying the flavors of my food. I also tend to think more about where my food is coming from and that I should be thankful to be able to enjoy food in a space that is my own.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION

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

    A big one is spending time with friends especially since it's more COVID-safe to see individuals outdoors. Exercise in itself is also a personal value of mine because to have a healthy mind, one should have a healthy body.

    Going on walks with my coRA, running (with people, but mostly solo to clear my head), and stretching/doing yoga

    I hope to invest in more eco-friendly items (e.g. sustainable clothing) that may be more expensive than their less sustainable counterparts with the money saved from energy efficiency.

    By communicating with your virtual meeting attendees, you can ensure that everyone's values are included. And virtual meetings are kind of the thing that people do right now, so this should be so easy!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water Brush My Teeth Without Running Water
    What is the main water source in your region? If you don't know, how could you find out?

    The main water source for water is the upper Mississippi Watershed!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature Practice Gratitude for Earth
    Kathleen Dean Moore says that a sense of gratitude leads to a sense of moral obligation. Do you agree? How can we cultivate a sense of gratitude as individuals, and as a society?

    Angela Yokley 3/01/2021 9:11 AM
    I would absolutely agree! Appreciating the Earth can lead people to change the way they treat it, and just by learning of simple solutions through this EcoChallenge, cultivating that sense of gratitude is easier than we think.

    Turning off lights in common spaces, such as rooms shared by suitemates, the laundry/trash room, and even the kitchen can reduce the environmental footprints of everyone who shares these spaces!
