REFLECTION QUESTION
Forests Explore My Area

How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place?

Dustin Tanner 4/28/2020 4:55 PM

We never truly know where we live until we experience the parts that are not always easily accessible or parts we don't frequent during our normal routines. Exploring your area can teach you about the importance of preserving it by seeing the life it supports, both flora and fauna.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Wildlife 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? 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?

I have started keeping my Patagonia tote in my car so I can have it with me wherever I go!

Our Mother: life-giver to every creature
On land, in the sea, in the air
She nurtures and preserves us,
Shaping existence to the smallest feature

Urging us to grow, to play, to learn
Given all that we need
Water and food to sustain,
That lost souls seek to burn

The human thinks “what’s best”
“We must progress or perish!”
Tiny minds with selfish vision
Failing the ultimate test

We must call them to return
Show them the light of peace
Our Mother deserves devotion,
Or else our paradise will burn

Mother gave us everything,
Yet we still push for more
Go back to our roots,
Or face beauty’s dismantling

The gods of our Mother
Mountains, plains, trees
This life will surely end
If we do not love her

I haven’t used a single-use container for all of quarantine. Once I return to a “normal” schedule, I will continue to use the containers that I’m using now to carry food/drink with me.
