Heartland Community College EASC 111

Lack of access to nutritious food can effect a community by leading to increased health risks, less access to food, and poverty. Having access to nutritious food helps a community become more resilient by increasing the general health of a community so that they can better focus on other important things in their lives.

When walking, I found that I could more closely observe my surroundings and enjoy nature more. When outside of the barrier a car or house creates, you become part of nature and feel a stronger connection to it.

I already take walks outside and ride my bike outdoors as exercise so I think I have the nature part pretty well covered, but I could also invite my friends to come with me to get some social interaction in.

My favorite activities are riding my bike and going on walks outside my house. I did those things the most often to exercise during this challenge (and went overboard almost every day).

I don't think my experiences differed too much when I ate without my phone. I was just bored for the meals I ate alone. I can't really think of any major differences.

 My shower leaks water pretty consistently while in use, and now seemed like a good time to finally fix that

Well Illinois in general doesn't have a whole lot of fresh water bodies, but we do have the Mississippi river right next to us, so if the sea levels rise that could become problematic

I definitely use more than I had hoped to, but I wasn't very surprised by the results. In the future, I will be sure to remember to turn off things I'm not using before I walk away

This eco challenge has been hard to do. some days I will completely forget what I have to do and miss days sometimes multiple days in a row. But it has been fun so far

I always like to take walks or just listen do some homework instead of being on my phone or computer.
