    It's a nice day outside, the sun is out and a bit of wind.Spend a few minutes outside to get some sun and while you're at it, pick some garbage that is on the floor to make a change.

    Lot's on my mind tonight and just wanted to ask what are you doing to change this planet from going dirty to clean?

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Wildlife Leave No Trace
    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?

    I feel that one problem in the community is the amount of garbage left on community hiking trails, parks, oceans, parking lots, etc. I definitely feel called to work in that area, picking up garbage and staying clean would really make an impact on earth.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Oceans Smart Seafood Choices
    Many states and countries have advisories on eating fish. Find out what is advised for your region. Do you think your diet choices fall within these guidelines? What steps do you need to take to make sure that they do?

    Making responsible seafood choices is one of the most important ways that you can contribute to healthier oceans. Thankfully, there is growing consumer demand for seafood that is both ethical and sustainable. An increasing number of people want to ensure they are making responsible decisions when it comes to their seafood choices, and more than 80% of global seafood consumers believe it is important for seafood to be protected for future generations. The challenge is that the path to making sustainable seafood choices is not a clear one.
