    It helps me getting involved in the community  by making it to where im involved and helping the community strive to get better
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Fresh Water Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    Using the links provided, investigate the bottling practices of water corporations. There have been many cases where the water rights of the local people have been violated or even completely disregarded when a corporation decides to bottle water from a particular water source. How can you advocate for those who have been harmed - both humans and wildlife - by this bottling process?

    it is important that we try our best to save water bottles to gain natural resources

    How does connecting with others help your own mental and emotional health? How can it help support others?

    I feel like it helps being able to talk to people around your own age and your friends because there are certain things that are said and done around friends that are not said and done around your family, It can also help support others to get their minds off of certain things that may be happening in their lives
  • 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?

    Khalil Conley 4/03/2020 9:36 AM
    I think that we will become consumed with being on modern day technology and it will come to a point to where we do not want to go outside at all and we will become satisfied with being inside for the rest of our life

  • 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?

    The one thing that probably is going to be hard to make it a habit is that I can be too lazy to wash to dishes and put my reusable cups in the wash, instead of me using a plastic or a styrofoam cup and being able to just throw it away
