    I chose to eat all of my meals without distractions, to only buy things I need, and to meditate or create a movement of silence for an hour a day. These are all things I struggle to do; I constantly look at my phone, buy clothes and food I do not need, and do not set time aside to reflect on my day. I believe that if I set a time apart to remove myself from technology and to think about my day, it will create a positive impact in my life.

    The actions that I chose to accomplish were to limit the amount of straws I use per day, exercise for at least 1 hour every day, eat more fruits and vegetables and to write down three things that I'm grateful for everyday. I chose these because not only did I think that these would be good for me to accomplish, but because they were the most intriguing to me as well.

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

    Walks with friends, which I usually do and enjoy doing. The zoo is a good resource for that. You are outside appreciating nature and animals, you are exercising, and can be with friends.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Whole Food Lifestyle
    Michael Pollan states that “it is better to pay the grocer (our edit: or the farmer!) than the doctor.” What are your thoughts on this assertion?

    Taking care of yourself and what goes in your body leaves you less likely to have serious health conditions. Not completely unlikely, but a more healthy lifestyle to promote healthy living.

    Action Track: Healing & Renewal 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?

    Yes, because you understand better what you have and what others may not. It helps you better appreciate and want to help others as you can. You feel the reward in helping others and being able to.

    Accessibility, including both quantity availability and funds to purchases them.
  • 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?

    Too often I forget them and have to use disposable bags. Or if I can, I try to just carry out. A lot of times i end up just buying new reusables so that I don't have to use disposables. I keep the reusable bags in my car and need to get better and remembering to bring them in.
