  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    People Spend Time Outside
    Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

    I feel that spending time indoor isn´t as healthy as being outdoors because being outdoor causes you to have more energy, improved short term memory, and stress relief.
