    How do your consumption choices affect the health of wildlife and other communities?

    This challenge goes hand in hand with the "leave no trace" idea.
    The choices of even just one individual effect the wildlife community.

    How does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?

    Picking up liter makes me feel connected with the community because I am putting a effort to keep my community clean.

    Oceans Learn about Our Oceans
    What is one way in which oceans support your life on Earth? What is one way you can help take care of ocean health with your actions?

    The ocean provides us with oxygen that we breath. One way I can take care of the ocean is by not using plastic bottles/ straws.

    I am really enjoying this challenge. I like the flexibility of the options to choose. They are practical ways of saving the earth even while in quarantine.
  • 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 agree with this quote. As a lot of skills and knowledge can be found in informational videos and books, I believe that more comes from real life experiences. It is key to grow character by getting out into the world. 
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    I am not surprised by this statistic. After attending the Food Banquet I saw first hand how much food is wasted. $1,500 is a lot of money that could be used to pay my college tuition.
