One human activity that impacts the health of water systems is showering and taking long showers, by us as humans not being conscious of the amount of water we are using we are causing consequences to our water systems.

Water for me provides me with feeling good, I start my days very early in the mornings seeing as I have to be at work at 4am, I do not drink any caffeine so water really gives me that wake up in the mornings. I generally will drink an entire water bottle on my way to work in the mornings so this week instead of taking a plastic water bottle I...

One core value in our relationship that we decided on is communication....

My boyfriend and I recently just went to Heart Rock Trail which...

After some of the things that I have learned from my human ecology class I have become more interested in more sustainable ways of living, and energy is one of them. One reason I think that I feel interested in learning is because we need to start making more conscious decisions when it comes to the way we are using our resources one of them...

I feel that restorative justice can help the well being of the planet and I feel that it helps the planet by the communities coming together, it would help them come together and create something that fixes what has been damaged. Also I feel that restorative justice helps bring closure for people for both offenders and victims, helping them...
