    Educator Stephanie Kaza advises her students to focus on what they care about most when addressing the enormity of ecological problems. Is there a specific area you feel particularly called to work on?

    It was somewhat difficult to take oils and definitely cocoa out of my diet, but I don't drink coffee so that was easy!
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Forests Use a Reusable Mug
    Maybe you've heard how good it is to switch from a single use coffee cup to a reusable one, but it's just hard to make the switch. What stands in your way of making this a habit? By identifying the challenges, you can begin to work through them to have better success in taking this action. Knowing the difference you are making, how does it make you feel?

    It is hard to use reusable mugs because I drink sodas out of cans, but knowing that I am making a difference helps with motivation.
